Ok, thank you all for the information very much, I will get it cleaned up and coated and the battery pads as well, I never took of the terminals for inspection from when I bought the truck so I'm not sure of the condition of the battery from the time I bought it, and on the cokacola to clean the battery, yes cocacola is very bad stuff, It will dissolve a 1oz. piece of meat in 4 days.
