Now, this installation will work for any top post battery-styled vehicle. Hey, you just need to see if the vehicle starts. You want to start with the positive terminal. The terminal grease is a dielectric grease that gives us a better connection and will completely stop that corrosion from coming back. But before we install our cables, we’re gonna put the washers on the posts and use some battery grease on both terminals. Now we’ll pull the protective covers off the battery posts. We’ll start by putting the clamp back in. Now we can install our Duralast Platinum battery. However, we do have some corrosion here on the mounting bolts for the battery tray, so we’re just gonna hit that with a wire brush, put some battery grease on that so that doesn’t happen again. There’s not a lot of corrosion, so I think we’re safe just to put some terminal grease on there, and we’ll get a good solid connection that won’t fail. It’s always a good idea to inspect your battery terminals to ensure they are in good shape. Taking it apart is very simple, starting with the negative battery terminal. Now, this is actually the wrong size battery for this truck, which may be a good reason that it’s weak.

It all starts by disconnecting your negative battery terminal. ![]() If you got long hair, tie it back, certainly don’t smoke, and make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface, fully engaged in the park gear with your parking brake set. Now, you’re gonna be working under the hood, so use some common sense. Possibly a wire brush just in case you run into corrosion on the terminals, and in our case, an eight-millimeter ratchet and socket. The rest of the things that you’re gonna need for this installation are gloves, safety glasses, some dielectric grease, and some washers for your terminals. Now, I’ve got this Duralast Platinum for GM because I run a lot of accessories in this truck, and I want that power when I need it. All you need to start with is a good Duralast battery. This is easy and I’ll walk you through it. Time to change the battery in your truck.
