Just an FYI, he's not speaking of the supercrew, he's speaking of the supercab which came in 5.5, 6 and 8 foot variations.

Wasn't trying to make you feel stupid. I was just letting you know in case you didn't. But I figured maybe you just mistakenly misread. It happens to the best of us.

Went threw my Parking aid and figured out why it was not working. Figured out it was the speaker. Found a old set of headphones and pulled the speaker solder the connectors on it and it works great now and a have a spare one if this goes out.
I can't believe they want $35 for that little thing. Thats half way to some new 6x8 speakers.

Swapped out my 3" blocks in the rear for 2.5"

Also, did a quick detail on this 2015 Ram 3500. That thing has a super stiff suspension.

Put up quite the fight to get the spare down. Gotta change the tire. Once that's changed, that's going in the backseat, not back under the truck on that pita contraption.

Also found the rear bed support/crossmember starting to go, back panel of the cross member on each side has a fair sized hole. In kinda bad shape for her age, but still solid and not doing too bad for how well she's cared for underneath (which is not at all)

Yeah, it's a cool truck. Huge though. Stock oe tire size are 33's (275/70r18). You have to stand on the tires to even be able to detail the hood. Getting in and out is also a task.

I used some Eagle one mag wheel cleaner and a scotch write pad to clean my a-arms. Then used some purple power and a scotch write pad to clean the inside of my wheels.

After

I wish I could get my lower control arms to look like that. However, having moog greasable upper ball joints, lower ball joints, tie rods and end links that are greased every oil change, there's a constant build up of spent grease coating most of my front suspension.

Looks good though!
