ℹ️ About the episode:
We got started with a Ford F150 half-ton truck with no regrets. The best truck and RV is the one that gets you started! Once you get going, upgrading is fun and you'll more experience and information. Since we started, we've had an F250, F450 and now we're back to an F250. Of course, our next truck will be a Ford F350 Super Duty with a 10-speed transmission just to share! Even Trish agrees! In this video, we share Super Duty secrets, mods, and FORScan updates.

Love the blinker fluid bit. How the guy outside kept a straight face while talking about making his own blinker fluid was awesome 😎

[@philip48230]

Reminds me of a 15 yr old busboy (very high IQ, 40 yrs later prominent Judge) that worked for me years ago. In training I kept emphasizing the importance of applying elbow grease while cleaning bathrooms. Great kid, also sought to do things correctly and was diligent. His turn came up to clean bathrooms ... he came up to me apologizing that he couldn’t find the elbow grease for cleaning the bathrooms.

I don’t own a Ford or a truck, but I watched the whole video. Marc, you have a knack for making any subject interesting.

[@personalfitnessco]

Same here, I'm a ram guy and i don't think I'll ever buy a ford truck but watched the whole video and was legit interested 😅

[@jimwhite4105]

How about the sound system?

[@herb7877]

One of the best video's to date. I have had numerous Ford trucks over the years and had no idea about the exterior lock keypad items you showed. The last 20+ years I have bought 4x4's for boondocking and not having to worry about getting stuck (within reason). I have only used it a couple of times but saved a long walk to get cell service to call a tow truck and a $600-$800 tow bill. I was able to stay camped while it was snowing a few times as well .

[@darrenbonak]

Love the air horn! Being a professional railroader, some my coworkers and I feel that train horns should be illegal. Those that have them think it’s cute to honk them near railroaders working. If we’re working it scares the crap out of us thinking there’s a train approaching and we could injure ourselves getting away from the tracks.

[@mattnelson6692]

`they are illegal

[@supertrooper7403]

@@mattnelson6692 no they aren’t

The F-450 is how I found your channel. I was searching for the SuperDuty F-450 on youtube last year, and your videos showed up. I've been glued to this channel, since then. ✌ Have a Happy New Year.

[@josephjamison5007]

Some of my favorite Forscan mods besides the standard ones you mentioned are Rolling up the widows with the FOB, Using NAV while in motion and temps on gauges.

[@caseynelson3164]

I just bought an f350 and used the forescan to mod my truck. I love the ability to do some small things to make it more convenient for me as well as personalize it slightly. I turned off the double honk feature when left running, but I also enabled the secure idle so it can’t be taken out of park without a key inside the truck. I leave mine running allot with out locking the doors. It ads a LITTLE bit of security by not allowing it to be moved.

[@toolstipsandprojects1665]

I HATE the double honk when left running and the key is in my pocket. I'm going to look more into Forscan. Thanks.

[@xbloody_eaglex]

We got the brand new super duty for work this year, 350 6.7 and driving around empty I'm getting like 16-20 mpg and then with a 14k lb trailer I average around 12 to 13 mpg. These 10 speeds are no joke. Shifts are smooth and picks up speed real good too. Keep up the great work and Happy New Year!!

[@glen7999]

My approach to purchasing the 2016 F250 was the same as yours. They were discounted heavily when the 2017 aluminum body trucks were coming out. Plus most of the bugs are worked out since it is the end of the run. It came with the 3.55 gears. I only buy 4x4, we get snow and ice where I live and I like to explore once I disconnect the trailer. Made some of the mods you have shown except for air compressor/air horn. LED lights on the rear were one of the first, so nice to be able to see when backing at night. ECU updates were 6 flashes for blinker, 50 gal fuel tank, DPF percent and fogs while on high beam. Manual regen with my generation of F250 needs to be done with laptop. I think the earlier years that are XL or XLT can be done manually. Wish I could read DEF level, but it will tell you when you are below 1/2 full and when you have 500 miles left. If anyone needs the spreadsheet of changes for 2011 to 2016 I have it. Oh, don't forget the chrome muffler bearing, that's a cool mod. :-), Forgot to add that just ordered the full card a few days ago, ref KYD

[@shanesoftwareengineer1023]

Finally finished watching the airstream series. Thank you for all the information y'all have provided. I was out of my league when it came down to knowing about RVing. But the videos has informed me and helped me make my decision on saving up to get a truck and an airstream. Thank you so very much.

[@MikeC19100]

This was a video I have been looking for ever since we got our Ford Super Duty. THANK YOU!!! I had the DEF guage showing once, but changed it for our first trip to get the RV in October 2019 and then couldn't find out how to get it back on the guage display. The manual didn't help much and searching for it online didn't work either. I got a lot of useful information out of this video and have saved the web link for rewatching it a few more times to write down some useful notes in my Ford-Log book.

[@runngun49]

We have a 2019 SuperDuty Lariet Sport with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Package and LOVE IT! I just did the FORScan Mods, added temps above gauges and want to do many more. Thanks for the videos they are great resources.

[@lynnpappas4049]

Hope you alls Christmas was a blessed one. Loved the "we have a hack to be able to make your own blinker fluid." That was priceless.

[@markrayer455]

This is one of my favorite videos that you’ve ever done. Super informative! As one of your long time subscribers, I love the fact that nearly 100% of the content of this video completely matched the title of the video. (which was not the case on many of your videos a year or two ago) 👍👍👍 for this one!

I'm a truck driver. Thanks so much for the truck stop advice to the public! Most non commercial drivers don't understand. Great video just got my 250 and loving it!

That is interesting about the trailer brake controller. I found my self having to back down a very steep hill and it felt like my RV brakes would take a while before they would "kick in". It was quite scary and it felt like I had zero brakes, going backwards,, down hill and my 40 foot toy hauler pulling me. Thanks for the information.

Great video as always...the content was one of the most useful and informative I have ever seen with regard to Ford SD. Thank you.

Man....now I really want new truck. Thanks KYD, my wife and I love seeing the videos every week. Family of 4, just purchased our first travel trailer and had it winterized. I cannot express in words how excited we are for our first trip in the spring!!!

[@ryanvogels5149]

You guys will love it. There will be a few headaches along the way, but nothing that should make the trip from being fantastic.

Thanks for the hint about finding the factory door keypad code. I just bought a 2017 F350 and needed to find the factory code. Worked like a charm. Looking forward to starting our adventure later this year and getting out on the road for the first time. Your videos have been so helpful and entertaining. Thanks for all you do.

Those safes are also made by a company called Console Vaults. I have one in my F-150 and love it!

[@randylester1219]

Thank you for the information on this video. Love watching your adventures. I actually purchased some mudflaps for my Ram 2500, very similar to what you bought for your F250, so the mud and snow wouldn't accumulate on my Amp power steps. I've been looking for a solution to the steps coming down and having a build up of mud on them, thereby tracking it into my cabin area. I believe they'll work perfect without being so gawdy looking.

[@gregellis6729]

Thanks KYD for the year. Looking forward to next year. Received a new KYD hat for Christmas. Wife and I are avid viewers.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank y'all so very much for this video! We enjoyed it. When we get our truck, which hopefully is soon, we're definitely going to be using some of these tips! Which, by the way, we're actually going full time and are currently looking for a good travel trailer. It's been a dream of ours for years now. ~Shion and Matthew

[@JohnathanCHall]

The area for the key, is used to read the key if the battery in the fob dies. After using the emergency blade key in the fob to enter the truck, you place the key in the the hidden spot, which energizes the key so the vehicle can read the key and start the vehicle.

[@jutdudebra1939]

Great video, thanks! I’m in the market for ordering a new truck, so I’m just watching some videos and saw yours so I checked it out. At first glance I was like oh that’s way too long, I won’t watch that. It was interesting and informative and before I knew it I was at the end of the video. Well done. Just subscribed.

The airhorns are the best feature of my coach and have saved my butt many times but scare the heck out of people in tiny little cars who don’t give you any room on the road. Thomyt

I agree, and wish I had a chance to use mine more! The wife doesn't think so of course, so I have to limit my honking unfortunately. :)

I’m dying over the going to jail about the train horn, because that’s me, definitely would get into trouble having a train horn.🤣

[@clifc6351]

I dont know what the KYD consensus is but I love the 10 speed transmission. Its like having half gears when towing. Nice mods to your truck, nice video, very informative. Thank You.

[@waynef.8158]

Great video of the 2019. I too owned a 2019 F350 w/6.7 PSD. It handled my 12k lb boat just fine; however, a bored day found me in the seat of a 2021 Dually. I will say, the 2021 has many agreeable upgrades for those that tow on a consistent basis. The 10-speed is amazing and coupled with the 4:10 gears she will pull a Marine from a strip club. ( I speak from 21 years of experience) Additionally, there are 4 drive modes that alter the ECM and allow for something that resembles MPG. My 2021 does not have a center console on the middle seat. My 2019 did and I do miss that. For comparison, both my 19 and 21 are the STX model with FX4 packages. Loved the 19! Really love the 21

[@RedSeaReef]

Love this. Thanks!!!

[@harold-miller]

Great video! Absolutely love my 2017 F250 Platinum which I picked up in August. One of my favorite mods so far has been a wireless charger from ShawTexan Products which drops right in the left storage compartment on the center console and a CPlay2Air wireless CarPlay adapter. This allows me to jump in the truck and it automatically connects to my iPhone all while it’s still in my pocket. Great for short trips. If I need to charge it, I just take it out and plop it on the wireless charger. No cords to deal with!

[@petenelson8136]

Great video as usual. Thanks for the tips on the mods. We have an 2017 F-350 and I HATE the double toot when I get out to make sure I'm parking my 5th wheel correctly.

Good knowledge thanks, just getting to know my 2020 F350 and love my massage seats. I guess u guys are ahead of us as we are yet to get blinker fluid, haha 🤗😋🤣 good one. I like my dinger ha, appreciate you guys hopefully we can get on your side of the border soon. Cheers James..

I have a 24" horn from a freightliner that I got in trade from my father-in-law who used to be a truck driver. I want to get it mounted on my Tundra some day, but I have to make brackets for it. It is a little different tone than your grover, but man it is loud. Your tech's reaction was classic. It is so good to laugh again! Great video, Marc.

[@Antieau4]

Great tip about Forscan... ordered the obd2 adapter and hopefully I can reprogram a few annoyances in both our Ford vehicles.

[@MrDraper38]

Great video. I have a 2020 F250 7.3 Godzilla and love it. Again thanks.

[@mikependergrass308]

Marc, I am obsessed with horn. You might say I’m a little,... well you know. I was a full time motorcyclist 1999 - 2010. It was my full time 4 season vehicle. For that reason I put a air horn on my bike; a 1999 Honda Valkyrie. Motorcycles disappear in traffic and it’s needed to get peoples attention.

[@DonkeyEvo]

I ended up getting a 2020. I was a bit apprehensive due to the 10 speed. After a couple of friends got them and were thrilled with the performance, I decided to make the purchase. The 10 speed in the Super Duty operates much better than the 10 speed in my 2019 F150 did, which was a pleasant surprise. The death wobble updates to the steering components was a nice update too. If you decide to buy another truck, you may want to wait until 2022 or 2023 (depending on how you feel about the interior and the overall looks).

[@GooberGuz]

great video i really appreciate your openness

[@icontrolthevideo]

I was glad to read at the FORscan website that it supports Ford vehicle model years 1996 and newer, as I have a 2016 F-350. Looking forward to making a few tweaks on my own.

I was going through my past video’s and should have commented a long time ago. I replaced my standard rotors and pads for a set of Powerstop Z36 cross drilled and slotted rotors with matched pads. The truck stops like a sports car now, especially when it is raining or snowing it is very noticeable. I know how much Trish loves the LARGE gas tank but I believe she just might have a new best when you see the difference this makes. I did the work myself just because I can and saved a few bucks…

I have a 2021 F350 diesel DRW with a 4.10 axle ratio with the 10 speed. At first I didn't care for it. Thought it was just to many gears. Now, I wouldn't give it up. Pull a 40 ft ,6 slide Alpine rv as if wasn't even hooked up. At 65 to 70, it's still under 2000 ram and quiet in the cab. Amazes me how smooth and quiet it is when going up mountains, has stayed in 10th gear on 6% hills without any hesitation
