Coincidental battery death?
Rodeo tried to start a couple cranks, now I get rapid clicking. The battery is probably 2 years old, which isn't bad for the heat of FL.
What I did this morning (before it failed to start): --changed the oil --tightened the forever squeeling power steering belt (too tight?) --patched a nail hole in the right rear tire. What I did 2 weeks ago: --new CD receiver. Probably just due for a battery... It was an Advance special, I think...Autostart maybe... Heading back down to the zone.

Re: Coincidental battery death?
Autocraft it was...
Made 05/03. Full warranty remains. Took about 20 seconds for the tester to say the battery is dead. That battery was supposed to be no maintenance, with no place to check/add water. It was probably dry. The replacement is now a maintenance battery. My buddy just changed out his alternator in his '97 V6. I hope I'm not heading that way. I'll have it tested if this battery dies a quick death.

Re: Coincidental battery death?
I had a similar problem too, except mine occured 4 months after I bought my battery. I suspect I might have a weak alternator. You should keep an eye on that.

Power steering belt broke. Needed a tow. Now I'll learn how to change all 3 belts up front. Whoo hoo.

Three belts and three different ways to adjust tension. Pretty easy stuff with the help of the Haynes.
