My 1999 F150's battery died last week. It seems about right to me.

I have a 98 F-150 and just replaced the battery last week. I live in Arizona where batteries typically don't last very long due to the extreme temps. The original battery is the best one I have ever had. Went to the dealer and bought another one, same price as the local auto part store for the same type battery but better and nationwide warranty.
