Bob Miller Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Had to replace mine yesterday actually. Got the same exact battery you did from Autozone. I could tell it was going because the truck was cranking slower and slower the last few weeks. Finally died yesterday. 2017 5.3L with only 23k miles. I think the Houston heat helped doing it in.

Houston heat probably didn't help, but I am going to say that the batteries are engineered to last just long enough to get out of the warranty window. My dad bought a brand new 88 F150. The battery in that truck lasted until after he passed away in 98. My son and I finally replaced the battery some years later. I dare say that battery lasted 12 years. You'll be hard pressed to get 5 years out of any battery now. I am on my 2nd battery in my 2014.

And whats crazy too is how expensive batteries are now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
