    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    Good luck, they are buying mine back however are still required to fix it. They are waiting on the third MGU to install which is back ordered. Not sure if they had a bad run of Mgu’s but I’m currently looking for a similar model year without the e-torque system. They don’t seem to have nearly...

    Interesting, the dealership was told by STAR to try another MGU install making it the third they’ve tried…

    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    Still nothing, after 120 consecutive days in the shop, speaking to a retention specialist now but have no confidence in anything being resolved. She called 2 weeks ago and said she was going to forward it for consideration to proactively buy it back or offer compensation if I decide to keep it...

    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    That’s what I was hoping the issue was, however they’ve replaced it twice with no joy. Along with all the pulleys twice, just throwing parts at it 4 months later…no truck. Beyond frustrated. Not even sure if they addressed the staking issue yet?

    Nope, still trying to figure it out three months later. Replaced the MGU, twice. All the pulleys twice as well. Ive heard nothing from Ram cares.

    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    Update, spoke to my service advisor and now Chrysler rep is saying it's a bearing noise coming from the engine? It doesn't sound like they have a plan as to what to do next and I haven't heard anything from the RAM Cares team going on 50 days without my truck. To say i'm frustrated is the...

    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    From what i know they've already replaced all the pulleys and the E-torque MGU Chrysler rep indicated they should try to replace the crank pulley as well. This was supposed to happen Friday but haven't heard anything back from the dealership yet. Dealership has been pretty good about keeping me...

    No, unfortunately the sound is the same, dealership still has it after 30+ days however a technician from Chrysler will be there tomorrow, fingers crossed they are able to diagnose it.

    The video is prior to taking it to the dealership, the service rep indicated they replaced all the parts referenced above to include the MGU but the noise is still there unfortunately.

    Video really doesn't do it justice how loud the whine is, my son was joking it sounded like a Dodge Demon...only louder and much slower.

    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    Nope, it's been at the dealership 30 consecutive days so far. I can't blame the dealership necessarily as they've replaced all the pulleys and then finally replaced the E-torque MGU which still didn't fix the problem. It sounds like it's coming from the E-torque unit itself. It sounds like a bad...

    Etorque generator noise

    Mine is pretty bad on initial start up and then quiets down a little bit at idle however when you accelerate it's an extremely loud whining, grating sound. I initially thought it may have been a pulley as well until I got under the hood and listened to it while someone pressed on the...

    Etorque generator noise

    The trucks at the dealership as we speak, it's been there for a week and they finally got around to replacing the idler pulley...didn't fix the problem, big shock. They don't sound like they have any plans on what to try next and i've been without the truck for a week without a loaner. If they...

    2020 RAM 1500 75K Miles Engine or MGU Whine/Noise??

    Thanks for the advice, based on all the other posts, youtube videos etc. it sounds and acts exactly like those that have been diagnosed as needing the MGU replaced. The sound to me is like nails on a chalkboard every time I hear it and I'm concerned they're going to attempt to blow me off like...

    Etorque generator noise

    My 2022 Laramie just started to whine badly at 18K miles! I have an appointment at the local RAM dealer this Thursday. Sounds like it's the MGU as well. When it started the truck stalled out once already. Dealer indicated they didn't have a loaner but I can't be without a car for 6 weeks!
