    Loosen the battery cables
    Take off the negative cable
    Take off the positive cable
    Take battery out

    Curious why you are servicing your 2023 battery?

    When cars age, the throttle body gets dirty from reciculated gas/carbon deposits. So when the battery is disconnected and reconnected the idle takes time to learn.

    Cleaning the throttle on older cars negates this. Your 23 should be ok.

    The one thing that helps prevent this and radio issues is, dont turn on the truck right away.

    Reconnect the battery, don't touch the brake pedal, push the start button twice and let the radio boot. Then start it. This gives the throttle a second to see where its zero is, and lets the radio boot without being interupted.

    Starting to get a bit of corrosion on the terminals and hold down. Going to get that stopped now.
