I was actually thinking the same thing, about it getting charged on the way there.

A nice little fact. The milage on my truck while it was dead 6665.5 notice the first three numbers.

What size battery do you have?
I hope it's not Ford's dinky 550.
The 650 better!

Yeah, that was definitely a low battery. My battery could run a high power stereo system for 5 hours but couldn't handle the key being in for 6.
I dont think the battery has quite recovered yet so now when I go to events I swap it out with a 560(?) CCA deep cycle RV/Boat battery and that thing works REALLY well. Not sure if it would be good to use a deep cycle for my truck battery long term though.

I'm wondering if you didn't have a shut down protocol issue.
You said your SYNC quit working? That may have something to do with it.
Is the SYNC working now?
If something isn't responding right during shut down the pcm will keep waking everything back up until it gets the right response or the battery goes dead. Just a thought.
Definately get it to a dealer and don't ignore it!

im going to take to dealer maybe tomorrow but one thing is, i unhucked the battery cables because my GF's dad said there might be acid build up. once i hucked it back up the SYNC works again. so you may be on to something.

I think you'd see acid buildup. (It would be over the top of the battery and would act as a short circuit even with the battery disconnected). I don't see that as a problem at all.

But, 88's idea is certainly valid. Your truck's under warranty, get this problem 'on record" with the dealer right now.
