Clock........

This morning when I got into my '98 F150 the clock was a 1/2 hour off and all my radio presets were gone. Has anyone had this problem or are there any thoughts on this. The truck started fine and I had plenty of interior light.

Yes, this has happened to me on different cars and trucks. A reset happened when I turned the key. Didn't notice then, only later when clock was wrong time and radio sets gone. Battery voltage dropped too low while starting, resetting clock and wiping out the presets. One time appeared to be corrosion on battery terminals, looked okay but cleaned them anyway, was okay from then on. But two other times, on different vehicles, this was an early warning of the battery suddenly dying due to an internal battery problem that was obvious later with a no start.

I have a 1998 F250 LD and had the same thing happen to me when the truck was less than a year old. I asked my dealer about it but they could not explain it.
