Had tons of starting power when I left work. Can a battery die on a ten mile drive if the alt. quit?

if its a diesel engine,check your heater relay output. It could be continuosly supplying the heater plugs,,thus draining the accumulator to vertual emptiness

Not a diesel, but thank you anyway. Got it home by jumping it..... somehow? The anti theft is the problem I believe. I only have one key so I'm getting another one today. Try to program them. I did jump it again at home and the truck killed itself (sounded like a kill switch was activated). I have the dash all apart, switched around some relays, checked fuses and connections, all looks fine. We'll see what the keys can do..... Thanks again!

They can't make me a key without the truck being there. So they want me to tow it to the dealer so they can plug it into a machine that gets the code info to program the key. 200 bucks, hundred plus just for the key. So I left, I'm going to call Ford headquarter today.
