How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

Here is a better picture.

There also is the male side to these terminals if ever You would have such a need.
The male and female insulators are also available.
 
Waa going to get this set plus the crimp tool btw

The only way I use that type of terminal is to grip the metalic part of the terminal with pliers, then another set of pliers and pull off that insulator.
Then I have a crimp tool that has a sort of a punch on it.
With that tool I cave against the wire right where the seam is on the terminal, then cave the other half of the seam down against the first cave in. The terminal is then soldered to the wire.
When I get out to the garage I’ll pic the process.
 
But yeah, do not attempt to fix that connector with those run of the mill terminals.
Used to be a saying i aint heeerd inna very long while.
Keep Your GM vehicle all GM.
Our old units such as these cant help but aftermarket many items but as much of my truck ss possible gets GM equipment.
 
These are a pair of the automatic stripping tool. The point and the U is where I do all My crimping.

If insulation is desired, slide a piece of heat shrink over the wire before crimping/soldering the terminal to the wire.
