Weird though because when the old battery died, I was still able to have stereo and lights and gadgets, so it wasn't completely dead, just not able to crank over.
It didn't give any warning though. I started it and drove it just fine 30 minutes before and when I got there, it just wont start again and just died. Oh wells.
Thanks guys.

Good to hear all's well. My OEM battery left me stranded on its 5th year too. Same thing too- started just fine, and then after I stopped somewhere for a few minutes, tried to start her up and everything else worked but couldn't crank the starter. Replaced it with a Sears Diehard, and now I'm going to replace on the 4th year just as a precaution so I don't get stranded anymore.
