It's a 1986 Dodge D150 with slant 6 motor. On the starter there is the positive cable and one other that is connected by a metal strip type thing. I need to replace the positive to battery cable but it is connected to the other one. They both run into a plastic tube with many other wires, so how do I replace just that one cable if it is connected to the other one? They are next to each other at the starter, about 2 inches away from that is where they go into the plastic tube.

The battery cable and the other 'smaller' solenoid wire are not *electrically connected* - both are just enclosed inside the insulator .. Purchase a universal battery cable - the right length - and run it from the starter to the battery via your own chosen path .. Be sure to keep the new cable away from sharp edges and hot surfaces .. Use cable ties + electrical tape to keep new cable in desired position..
Simply cut the old cable and seperate it from the smaller wire.
