woohoo! My ordered Limited just updated to "scheduled on Sept 22" on the Ram order tracking site. I got a great deal - which I will post details of here once it's all finalized and works out like I think it's supposed to - but anyone know what time frame to expect from the scheduled date until...

Is it the generator bearing? See the thread here and just replace the bearing for $50.

That didn't happen to me - but I've had multiple wacky electrical things happen temporarily whenever the battery dies or is disconnected. If it goes away in a day, I wouldn't worry about it.

E torque generator went out this summer, at around 107k miles. Those are expensive and unobtainable. Luckily, found the thread here detailing how to tear it apart and replace just the bad bearing. However, I never want an E torque motor again. Added complexity & expense for really no benefit.

Just ordered a black Limited Night Edition. Now the wait...

I just ordered a new Ram limited. I wish I could get the straight Hemi, but that's not possible. While I'd preferably avoid the potential complexity of turbos, I'm not tolerating the Etorque thing again, so HO V6 it is!

Hey Anthony, when talking with my local dealer, they insist that the current rebates cannot be locked to a custom order, and only apply to delivery by 9/2. They said when rebates can be locked to a custom build order, it doesn't mandate a delivery date. True?

Any idea when "late availability" colors start to show up? I know I can't order delmonico red, which was my preference. I'd consider molten red (although I'd like to see a real world example). Any idea when these colors are available?

I tried getting some local quotes to see if anyone could match Mark Dodge's quote - and not really is the answer. However, they all tell me a Limited can't be ordered in Delmonico Red. Ram's build it site still lets me select it though. Is this a temporary issue?

Ordered the bearing, had my mechanic install it. He showed me the old rear bearing. It was shot. Truck now works great! thanks again.

FYI - you do NOT need to wait months to buy an expensive replacement alternator. Head over to the eTorque Bearing Replacement thread. I ordered the bearing mentioned on that thread for $50 shipped and paid my mechanic $350 to do it. So I'm in $400. Truck works great and noise is gone. Would...

Thanks for the information & write up. I'm going to order that rear bearing and give this a shot.

Ugh. Now I'm in this unfortunate group as well. 2020 Longhorn with 105k miles. Truck started making "bad bearing" like noise from the front engine. My mechanic says it's the alternator, and that he ordered the part from the dealer. He was told there are about 3,000 currently on order, and...

I'm starting the build & quote process for a 2026. Mark Dodge here on the forums offers a great, no hassle discount, and I've started the process with them - but are there dealers in the Midwest that routinely offer equally good of a deal? Would ideally like to avoid the 26 hour round trip...

Looks like the Ram build it site is working now for the '26 1500. It's $1000 more for a Longhorn than a Limited. Can anyone tell me the difference, other than the interior color options?
