Battery Replacement

Wife's truck is a 2011 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi. Is replacing the battery as simple as loosening the clamp, removing the cables and dropping in the new one?

Never know these days. Thanks for the reply.

Nothing different about changing batteries, however if you have the Mygig radio, I believe it is advised to remove the radio fuse first.

Thanks for the replies, it's been awhile since I changed a battery and thought it wouldn't hurt to ask in case something had changed on these newer vehicles.
