Original batteries are finally giving up. Picked up two new batteries today. Is there a sequence of which battery to change out first or doesn't it matter? Any thing else i should be aware of? Thanks for replys.

Doesn't matter batteries are wired in parallel

I would undo both grounds first and and then the positive ones next. Then reconnect the positive first and then the negative last. This way if you were to accidently short the tool to ground you only be on the grounds at the time.

Also, don't be surprised if the truck starts unexpectedly when the first battery is connected. Mine starts and then shuts off. This could be due to my remote starter but just keep your fingers clear in case.
