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.

I know a lot of the 04-08s had problems eating batteries! Maybe your 09 is doing the same thing. My 08' has 15k miles on it and has had 5 batteries... Now I am running an optima yellow top and about to wire another one in. At least now if it is dead for a long time I can just deep cycle it and the battery is good to go. The truck is getting a new engine so maybe that will take care of the problem... well see.
