Corrosion is common on battery terminals as they get older.
If you're talking about a broken terminal on the battery cable, then you need a new cable. Available at most auto stores. Probably best to change them both.
- You MIGHT need a new battery as well.
Corrosion would weaken the terminal on the cable.
If it's the actual terminal post on the battery itself, you need a new battery -- wouldn't hurt to get new cables as well.
If the actual battery terminal is broken, it got whacked pretty hard by something.
Truck can't start if the battery isn't well connected.
Good Luck,
hj
