Ram 3500 2011 to a 2016 Ram 3500
So excited to try the new truck out for truck camper hauling duty. New truck has a lot more power than my 2011. Also seems a lot beefier in the frame, transmissio...

I can't imagine what would be different with the '16 models. Same truck from the '13 model chassis redesign.
I ran into an issue with my 2016 3500 yesterday which was different than my 2013 2500 (I don't know what the 2013 3500 was like). Maybe someone who has a 2013-2015 3500 can tell me if my 2016 is different. The photo below shows a heat shield and a new-to-me piece of 2"O.D. tube frame that supports the heat shield and connects the box frame pieces on both sides. The heat shield protects the spare tire from the exhaust pipe and muffler and it appears that the tube frame is a support for it. The tube frame piece juts into the box frame piece right at the hole I'm supposed to use for one of the bolts for the "7" piece for the SuperHitch, fishing the bolt through the box frame, but there's now no room to fish the bolt.
Sent the photo to Torklift and I'm sure they'll find a solution. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this and if so, how you solved it.
