I need instructions on how to do a compression test on cylinder #2 , I think that I should remove fuel pump relay fuse, remove all spark plugs then crank engine 5 strokes am I right?

That sounds right. Crank using a jumper wire at the starter relay instead of using the ignition switch. Hold the throttle open or remove it.

Yes. You don't want a bunch of fuel getting squirted in there.

As for the throttle, don't force it open when power is on it. Get your grandson to hold the gas pedal down at the same time, which is basically floor clearing mode. Alternatively, you can unplug the throttle body and hold it open without any fear it will try to close.

This was an oversight on my part...I just checked your Profile and since you have a Silverado with the 4.8L V8 installed....THIS version of that last link is more appropriate:
