W With all the bearing failure's it's made me wonder if bad bearing supply is the issue or the bearing is the weak link / sacrificial lamb of engineering that failed due to stresses of the unique system and odd tensioner setup. We'll never know. I'm just glad bearing replacement was a task...

I just want to thank UpNorthEngineer for being the trail blazer and posting this. Life saver! I just finished my truck tonight and it's so smooth. A little patience and research goes a long way. Thermal expansion and contraction with my carefully used heat gun and a $10 can of air duster to...

Everything UpNorthEngineer documented in the original post is spot on! Particularly the resolver and reluctor damage. The tolerances in there are tight. With that amount of failed bearing movement, this damage is totally logical. Hopefully it doesn't create significant issue down the road.

I will say, the MGU is REALLY on there, probably because the long bolts were torqued pretty good and likely squeezed the aluminum snug. Before anyone takes whacks at it, here's what I did because pounding at this thing probably isn't the best idea. The following is MUCH safer and went really...

Thank you UNE, this is exactly what I needed to find! Stellantis won't likely help me out since I'm at 88,000 on a 2020. Mine didn't start howling/grinding til 85000 so I'm totally on my own. Why isn't this recallable??? I'm pulling this thing out ASAP. As of last week the shudder and rattle...
