What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my K3500’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your K3500, it's likely corrosion.

How do I clean corrosion off my K3500 vehicle battery?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock.
