Why is there white, crusty buildup on my R2500 Suburban’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your R2500 Suburban, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals.

How do I clean a corroded R2500 Suburban battery terminal?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your R2500 Suburban’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
