So fun to see you guys up in the eastern part of Canada. I come from the Eastern townships in Quebec but travel to the Atlantic provinces every year to visit familly and enjoy the beautiful scenery and fun people. Love watching you guys!
I just HAD to cycle the Cabot Trail, the “brochure” photos looked stunning. Then we drove counter clockwise & decided there was no way I was going to do the amount I had thought I wanted. No shoulders & the locals barrelled past us! I did ride about 500m from our campground to where the bridge construction was & back. We haven’t completed the trip around Cape Breton Island yet, possibly next summer depending on how well towing our new rig goes.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Have you considered riding RAGBRAI? Annual Bike ride across Iowa, riders from all over the world ride it. A lot of fun!
Awesome!! We are a couple of days behind you. In New Hampshire. You continue to inspire us! My husband who has Parkinson’s disease and we refuse to succumb to the disease! You inspire us to continue! We have watched you since the beginning of your TH-cam start. Thank you for inspiring us to continue. We Keep Our Daydreams every day because for you. BTW we live in Tampa. Would love to meet you when you return home!
It is good to see this positive attitude. I was recently diagnosed with Myotonic Dystrophy. While different, they are both progressive. I am not going to roll over!
Love you guys! Have been watching since (near) the beginning. A lot of life has changed since then but you guys are always a source of joy and smiles. I’m grateful for your presence in the world! 🙏
Okay ..... new rule: Your videos have to be.....have to be.....at least 45 minutes long with at least the same GREAT/OUTSTANDING value as this one. Thank you for all your efforts....they are considerable !
I never notice how much dreary days effect me until the sun shows up again. All of the sudden I get smiley and have spring in my step. Hooray for sunshine! Your adventures in NS have been beautiful regardless. As always, thank you for excellent content!
I did the Cabot Trail a few weeks before you - stayed at the Cheticamp campground and did the Skyline trail. As always, you did a great job capturing the whole essence of “the Cabot Trail”. It’s a stunning place. LOVED this video.
Changing one battery is like only putting brakes on one wheel. Both batteries are installed at the same time, used at the same time and therefore changed at one time, it only makes sense to do it this way.
Wait, what? That makes no sense whatsoever. On many rigs the batteries are NOT used equally so just date the battery and watch for a performance drop...which can take many years,
Others mentioned this already, but you should always change them both .....now the old battery is making the new one work harder........ Also your horn at the beginning.....what is it and where did you get it? One more thing......keep the Ford....you have a work horse there.
Super jealous (as usual;) but glad y’all are enjoying Canada! I must be the y’all’s polar opposite because I can’t get enough clouds (probably because I’m in Texas… should be triple digits everyday at least until Aug 14 and currently 28% humidity)!🥵 Planning to head NE with the RV soon though!🙌🏼
1st time viewer. Saw all the places Ive been to18 yrs ago! Sooo nice to view this! Great video work. You and your wife mesh abd work well together! Love that!!!
The battery acid can be easily cleaned off with simple baking soda and a tooth brush and/or wire brush on your terminal connections. Just rinse it off with water once you have scrubbed it down. You may have only have had a bad connection due to the corrosion and your batteries are fine. If they are actually bad, I would have replaced both at the same time so your new battery is overworking itself.
Always replace both batteries because the one you replaced has already effected the other one so it won't be long g before it goes. Beautiful places that ya'll are going through. Thank you for sharing
I have been to Cape Breton Island a number of times for work and again with my wife and oldest son with the camper. Spectacular place. The people are the best. My coworker stayed over Christmas on his own while we all went home. After Christmas he informed us he got broken into and found a Christmas tree with presents under it. Multiple invites for Christmas dinner. Awesome!
Love your video! Fun fact, I live on the Cabot trail! My whole life (38) and I adore your family's take on the trail! Ps, I'm from Ingonish Beach! Hope you all took the time to stop in there!! Stay safe!!
Fyi. If u swapped to AGM from flooded batteries you should use Forscan to change ur BCM setting under “battery type”. This tells the truck how to charge your batteries to optimize battery charge/life.
When changing a bettery always fully remove the negative terminal from the battery before you touch the positive terminal. That way if you connect the positive terminal to ground using your wrench, it will not create a welding spark. When installing a new battery positive terminal first, then the negative. Be safe...... Also wear safety glasses and clothes that you do not care about. Batteries can blow up. I am lucky to live through a battery arc fault event.. there is hydrogen, acid, noise, and scrapenel when a battery explodes.
One thing I've always done since I started driving is I put a little grease around the battery post before I put the terminal back on. When I do this, I've never seen the acid build up on the battery. Looks so peaceful with the fog. I would want a bench to enjoy a coffee.
Just FYI… glad the truck is running well and here’s what my Ford guy told told me… always try to use some kind of diesel fuel treatment and always turn on the ignition before starting the engine. (Hit the button no brake, after 5-10 seconds (when all the dings have stopped) hold the brake and hit start). It’ll prime the system with fuel and oil which reduces wear and tear and helps prevent common issues with Super Duty fuel pumps. Also, I’d rub some dielectric grease on those battery contacts and terminals!
I’ve had issues with same truck that were battery related. Tried changing just 1 battery. Worked for short time and then had issues shortly after. I learned… always - always change both batteries.
511 Nova Scotia will give pretty good weather reports. Each providence has a 511 some are better than others. You should swap both of the batteries, the old one will drain the new one done, lowest common denominator.
Thank you for the ride segments!! Oh, the power of youth! Attacking the 8% grade like that is awesome. I’m terrible on climbing, but I’m old and heavy! 😅. I go on “cycle safari’s” almost every year so I’m digging your locations. I’d love to follow on Strava and check your stats. Cheers!!
JJ here-long time enthusiast of KYD: recently had the P038 dreaded alarm on my 6.7(F350)-i'd gone thru same thing with the F250 couple years ago. Saw on another thread one Ford guy had some simiar issues, and some of the STRANGE things he listed due to battery. All that to say i hadn't seen any delay in starting but had battery checked by someone i trust--he showed me readings-both batteries low. New batteries installed-the P038 cleared and the GPS SYNCH(i assumed was going out)is nowworking. Another Ford 'tech' said "you'd be suprised what low VOLTs can do to a truck system. Just wanted to alert you.
Lovely area. Nice that the shop let you do the repair in the parking lot. I recommend you consider replacing the second battery. Also use baking soda and water to rinse any residual acid from the clamps. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.
Marc, Do you have the adaptive steering option on your truck or is the problem some kind of weird failure mode? We have the adaptive option on our 2021 F250. The adaptive steering seems to be more touchy in cross winds than the standard steering. I think we just missed you a King Neptune Campground. We started our Canadian Maritime trip at Yarmouth NS. Our trip is only 4 weeks long including Newfoundland. We are in Quebec City now. Canada is a wonderful place with great people and awesome scenery, but the roads (except the TransCanada system and the National Park roads) are terrible. They have beat the heck out of our Lance travel trailer. Our range has dismantled itself and our blinds have fallen off our windows. We made a similar trip 23 years ago-tent camping. I don't remember the roads being this bad.
The Milk also tends to take out any offensive flavors in fish and seafood. I have done it with Bullheads, as well as Largemouth Bass, as they can have an extra fishy flavor. just grab a carton of milk, open the top take some milk out, and drop fish in, and freeze the entire container.
Cape Breton is gorgeous. Cabot Trail is epic. While you folks were there, I was in Newfoundland at the same period. Newfoundland is another MUST SEE…another truly special place with incredible people. You guys need to add it to you list for the next time you’re up here in eastern Canada
We’re back in Nova Scotia yesterday after getting chased out by Hurricane Fiona last Fall and headed to Cape Breton. Thanks for the preview and driving direction tip. We’re so excited!
If you have 2 Batteries wired in Parallel , You need to replace Both Batteries at the same time. Replacing only 1 battery can cause a discharge in the battery that has more capacity to drain power into the battery that has less capacity. (Peukert Law) Always a good idea to have both batteries the same brand and fairly close production date.(Modern Automotive Modules hate low voltages or strange current spikes) Good Luck.
I did the Cabot trail also in July - the Skyline trail was one of the prettiest trails I’ve ever been on, as were the other trails along it. I hit some fog and drizzle but the only rain was coming south from Cape Breton on July 22 - the day Halifax said it got 3 months of rain in one day and cars were floating away….so I diverted to Antigonish. Never driven in such hard rain - a little scary. My “hydroplaning” warning light came on - that’s when I pulled over early to a motel.
Love the Cabot Trail we've done it twice both times in stunning weather! Cape Breton is breathtaking! I'm debating moving from Ontario to Nova Scotia I am always going back.
Hello, I have a 2017 F-350 and had the same steering wheel problem that replacing steering wheel was the final fix. Covered under warranty or at least mine was.
Now I am weeping you're going to P.E.I. ! I want to be there lol. So you have to go into New Brunswick to take the bridge in. Loving this season. Seeing as this year I stayed home to do things I can enjoy it vicariously thru you. :)
Gee after watching the videos on Nova Scotia I've added it to my bucket list of places I most likely will never get to go to. I'm really enjoying seeing these as well as Charlie his eyes just melt my heart. Caleb reminds me of my bike riding days but I wasn't as good as he is. Trish the chips and dip surely looked amazing. Marc keeps you on the road. Thank you so much as enjoyed. Love y'all
Mark, too bad you were forced to take action in Canada. Ford now has an AGM optional battery for SD's no more sulfating issues. You should change them both out when you get back to the US.
Marc and Trish - I think you would love driving in Ontario from Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay - the views are just as spectacular or even better than the Cabot Trail. Another trip idea for the future.
Hey Mark thank you to the both of you for these videos you guys get to see such beautiful places, we're working on something ourselves like everybody else you have inspired us. And off the wall question I was looking on your menu for the Viair constant duty onboard air system 10007 and I was wondering since it's the full on board system are you still using that and how do you like it. I was wanting to go on your site and order through you guys and get it for my truck as well period is this the one you're still using? Is there a way you could show us one more video or tell me where the other video was when you put it on, I can't seem to find it
Loved this episode. Glad the fix for the superduty was the less expensive one. The shot where you were above the clouds reminded me of camping near Frosty Park Co, west of Colorado Springs, every year for an annual birthday party for friends. We all had our dirt bikes and the highlight, for me, was the midnight ride to the top of a mountain somewhere between Pikes Peak and Cheyenne Mt. There is a valley you can look down on from there and this particular trip there was heavy fog in the valley. There was also a full moon that made the fog bank light up in silver light and caused the whole valley to glow in an extremely bright silver light. Spectacular.
I come from Maine. I heard, years ago from a lobsterman from Harpswell, if you must freeze lobster it has to be in whole milk! The ice crystals from anything lesser will get into the meat and make it mushy. Like freezing strawberries, they are never the same. This is the reason Red Lobster didn’t make it in Maine.. Frozen lobster isn’t the same at all
Was watching you add the milk, 1% and wondering if you had some half and half to bring up the percentage of milk fat? We always have some for our coffee.
I see Marc has already addressed this in another comment but for others reading..... 1st Diesels 17:31. Verily, I say unto thee, in the realm of diesel trucks, thou shalt not tarry nor hesitate in the changing of batteries, but with utmost diligence, thou shalt replace both the sources of power, for it is written that a wise man forsakes not a single weary cell, but doth renew them both, that the chariot may run with steadfast vigor and unyielding might, and the journey be smooth and unencumbered. Thus, heed this divine decree: "Always change both batteries in thy diesel truck, for therein lieth the path of prudence and the assurance of a reliable steed." Also new hold downs are about $15 if the corrosion bothers you. 19:20
Nice BigFoot add there. I always wondered where he ended up these days. Also loving the crocs Mark. Thinking my husband needs a pair like those. What style are they per chance?
Great video. The views were outstanding. How many times did Caleb lap ya on that hill :) Thank you for bringing up that great discussion point about always change all batteries unless they all are relatively new. This is good advise for the readers and the next one that has similar issues. I want some of that food. Thank you for bring us along
our friends drove their 2020 Ford Explorer from Iowa to Colorado first of July, they got there and noticed a steering error light on, it became almost impossible to turn lef or right, left it at the local Ford Dealer there and came came home, still waiting for parts
Stopped the video to add this note from the Ford Service website. Now back to the video to see what happens… Note: If your vehicle loses electrical power or detects a fault when you are driving, the system shuts down and you retain a normal steering function with a fixed steering ratio. During this time, it is possible that the steering wheel could not be straight when the vehicle is driving straight ahead. In addition, you could notice that the steering wheel angle required to steer your vehicle could be different.
Another great video. You guys really have hit the wettest spring/summer in years in these parts, but hey weather is what it is, and as you are doing, we find a way to enjoy anyway. Looking forward to the rest of your trip for sure. As always safe travels...
The batteries are for starting and to run excess accessories. The truck should run off alternator power supply to the batteries much like a generator. Sounds like could be software
Hey have the same truck was having a lot of the same issues did batteries and it fixed everything. But you need to do both batteries not just one. You will start to have more issues.
Battery acid has a tendency to contaminate the surrounding area where it is installed. I always get a little Dawn dish soap and water and a paint brush to clean and rinse around and under the area where the battery is installed. Clean the six sides of the battery also. This reduces the build up of crud on the terminals.( Remove the plastic tray if there is one. ) About once a year. Or when the battery is out for replacement.
Off topic comment. How do you figure out where you will be stopping for gas on a road trip? Do you plan ahead or just start looking when it gets close to needing gas? Is there a app or a website you can put in a trip and it give you locations or cities? thanks
Never change just one battery always change both batteries you will immediately have problems with the one you don't change.
Never!
X3
Yep. Change both. 😅
Always change both! At least in the RAMS so they say!
They only had one. I shouldn’t have included that in the edit.
So fun to see you guys up in the eastern part of Canada. I come from the Eastern townships in Quebec but travel to the Atlantic provinces every year to visit familly and enjoy the beautiful scenery and fun people.
Love watching you guys!

get some rest for Day 2 of riding tomorrow!!!
Denver and Annie do the same thing. once they hear the truck start, they run towards it.
Never ever change just 1 battery in a diesel. Always change both.
They day we did the Skyline trail it was all fog out, Within 1 hour it was clear and what an amazing view.
Awesome!! We are a couple of days behind you. In New Hampshire. You continue to inspire us! My husband who has Parkinson’s disease and we refuse to succumb to the disease! You inspire us to continue! We have watched you since the beginning of your TH-cam start. Thank you for inspiring us to continue. We Keep Our Daydreams every day because for you. BTW we live in Tampa.

It is good to see this positive attitude. I was recently diagnosed with Myotonic Dystrophy. While different, they are both progressive. I am not going to roll over!
Great to see Caleb in good form on the bike and attacking on the climbs! Proud dad moments, while gasping for air of course.
Love you guys! Have been watching since (near) the beginning. A lot of life has changed since then but you guys are always a source of joy and smiles. I’m grateful for your presence in the world! 🙏
Okay ..... new rule:
Your videos have to be.....have to be.....at least 45 minutes long with at least the same GREAT/OUTSTANDING value as this one.
Thank you for all your efforts....they are considerable !
Absolutely Agree 😊
Start your own channel and let them enjoy some fun time without that responsibility! Quit being greedy!
FYI - Always replace both batteries at the same time,,,
I never notice how much dreary days effect me until the sun shows up again. All of the sudden I get smiley and have spring in my step. Hooray for sunshine!
Your adventures in NS have been beautiful regardless. As always, thank you for excellent content!

Changing one battery is like only putting brakes on one wheel. Both batteries are installed at the same time, used at the same time and therefore changed at one time, it only makes sense to do it this way.
And… the new battery will age prematurely being taxed by the weaker battery
Wait, what? That makes no sense whatsoever. On many rigs the batteries are NOT used equally so just date the battery and watch for a performance drop...which can take many years,
Others mentioned this already, but you should always change them both .....now the old battery is making the new one work harder........
Also your horn at the beginning.....what is it and where did you get it?
One more thing......keep the Ford....you have a work horse there.
You always change both batteries at the same time . If you don’t the new battery will be the same as your old battery.
Super jealous (as usual;) but glad y’all are enjoying Canada! I must be the y’all’s polar opposite because I can’t get enough clouds (probably because I’m in Texas… should be triple digits everyday at least until Aug 14 and currently 28% humidity)!🥵 Planning to head NE with the RV soon though!🙌🏼
We had a terrible June and most of July, hope you got some sunshine. It's not usually like this.
When I start my F350 the dash tells me all those things, also that my taxes are due, I have a dental appointment and I should call my mother.
1st time viewer. Saw all the places Ive been to18 yrs ago! Sooo nice to view this! Great video work. You and your wife mesh abd work well together! Love that!!!

I have been to Cape Breton Island a number of times for work and again with my wife and oldest son with the camper. Spectacular place.
The people are the best. My coworker stayed over Christmas on his own while we all went home. After Christmas he informed us he got broken into and found a Christmas tree with presents under it. Multiple invites for Christmas dinner. Awesome!
That’s Cape Breton for you!
One way, two way, three way, it sounds like you may have a "no way" ...😊
Not sure where you are now. Stay safe with all the flooding in Nova Scotia, our thoughts are with everyone affected.
never only replace one on a diesel replace them both and save yourself some trouble.
Love your video! Fun fact, I live on the Cabot trail! My whole life (38) and I adore your family's take on the trail!
Ps, I'm from Ingonish Beach! Hope you all took the time to stop in there!! Stay safe!!
Yes without a doubt change them both!!!!
Always chance both batteries!!!
Mix one part Big Sur two parts lake Tahoe and mix in the Smoky Mountains = Cabot Trail and Nova Scotia. Thank you for the beautiful views.
Yep same thing happened in my jeep- change both batteries at once. Safe travels!!
Never been to Nova Scotia, so this has been a lot of fun to watch. Beautiful scenery and amazing video work (as always)!
Change both batteries together not just one.
Wow you did not hike to the best look out points on that trail.
Always replace both
Fyi. If u swapped to AGM from flooded batteries you should use Forscan to change ur BCM setting under “battery type”. This tells the truck how to charge your batteries to optimize battery charge/life.
It wasn’t long ago that you practically had to drag Caleb out to hike and now he is kicking his dads booty going up hills on a bike 🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing!
When changing a bettery always fully remove the negative terminal from the battery before you touch the positive terminal. That way if you connect the positive terminal to ground using your wrench, it will not create a welding spark. When installing a new battery positive terminal first, then the negative. Be safe...... Also wear safety glasses and clothes that you do not care about. Batteries can blow up. I am lucky to live through a battery arc fault event.. there is hydrogen, acid, noise, and scrapenel when a battery explodes.
One thing I've always done since I started driving is I put a little grease around the battery post before I put the terminal back on. When I do this, I've never seen the acid build up on the battery. Looks so peaceful with the fog. I would want a bench to enjoy a coffee.

Long time subscriber. I cycled the trail 06/23 - 06/26. Just missed you. Had awesome weather

If Toyota would just make 2500 and 3500 trucks we could forget about GM and just move on.

Sidenote, multiple Jeopardy contestants use kids non-fiction books to study for the show because they give such succinct information!
Canadian tire is a good place to take a vehicle on the weekend they do have a garage open on Saturday plus they will take the old battery !

Be glad you’re not in Arizona it’s been in the mid-90s and higher in Preskett Arizona!
Mazing view on Sky line trail. I was there 2009, saw 3 moose and a black beer.
our friends drove their 2020 Ford Explorer from Iowa to Colorado first of July, they got there and noticed a steering error light on, it became almost impossible to turn lef or right, left it at the local Ford Dealer there and came came home, still waiting for parts
Stopped the video to add this note from the Ford Service website. Now back to the video to see what happens…
Note: If your vehicle loses electrical power or detects a fault when you are driving, the system shuts down and you retain a normal steering function with a fixed steering ratio. During this time, it is possible that the steering wheel could not be straight when the vehicle is driving straight ahead. In addition, you could notice that the steering wheel angle required to steer your vehicle could be different.
I hope someone told you to stop in at the Dancing Goat in Margaree 😊 I'm a little surprised the Gypsum Mine in Cheticamp didn't make an appearance.
Ford batteries must have the same life span. I just changed mine a month ago in my 2019 also!
How was the phone service ? Did you have to pay extra for being out of the US?
I forgot to add that I was the first one on the Skyline trail at 7:30am too! But by 9:15 it was crowded….
Another great video. You guys really have hit the wettest spring/summer in years in these parts, but hey weather is what it is, and as you are doing, we find a way to enjoy anyway. Looking forward to the rest of your trip for sure. As always safe travels...
The batteries are for starting and to run excess accessories. The truck should run off alternator power supply to the batteries much like a generator. Sounds like could be software
Popcorn, broccoli and watermelon, no wonder Charlie doesn’t want to get in the truck PU 😂
Trish: I'm putting lobster in the freezer.
Me: Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
I seem to be the only comment about the 3:01 mark. Sasquatch lives. Good eyes Caleb.
Needed a new battery on our 2020 F250 KRanch in the same situation.
Hahahaha your talking about lobster and im over here like what brand of hot dogs yall want.
Black flies are in northern NE as well but usually in May. Ouch.
Hey have the same truck was having a lot of the same issues did batteries and it fixed everything. But you need to do both batteries not just one. You will start to have more issues.
Battery acid has a tendency to contaminate the surrounding area where it is installed. I always get a little Dawn dish soap and water and a paint brush to clean and rinse around and under the area where the battery is installed. Clean the six sides of the battery also. This reduces the build up of crud on the terminals.( Remove the plastic tray if there is one. ) About once a year. Or when the battery is out for replacement.
Marc you should get an e-bike it's the only way to keep up with an 18 year old.
Off topic comment. How do you figure out where you will be stopping for gas on a road trip? Do you plan ahead or just start looking when it gets close to needing gas? Is there a app or a website you can put in a trip and it give you locations or cities? thanks
Health and Maintenance on the road is super challenging - you make it looking like a dip - lol Judy & Steph aka Rebel
Beautiful video! Thanks for taking us along on your travels!!…. Lisa
Do you use carplay or android auto or the navigation system that is built into to the Ford system?
Katniss about to jump out of that forest with her bow and arrow! haha! great video as always
Always change both battery's will just kill the new one sooner
