Yes, baking soda and water will do a lot of neutralizing and cleaning.

Are these replacement clamps where you cut the original off the cable or are the the original cable ends?

Autozone and other parts stores can do a free battery and alternator test in the parking lot.

Not necessarily, when my starter went bad I could jump it off my lawnmower batter to get it to fire right up but as soon as I shut it off it was back to the clicking. I'd just get it tested before you start throwing money at it, batteries aren't cheap these days ha.

I took the battery to AutoZone and they tested it as good, just needs a charge. So they're charging it and I'll toss it back in. Bring the truck out to em and they'll test the chargin system as it seems I may need an alternator because I've been drivin the truck a good amount so battery should have had charge.
