E torque alternator.

I just dropped it at local mechanic last night and have opportunity to take back to dealer... if 2nd owner is covered.

Mechanical skills... I do trailer rebuilds and minor motorcycle and outboard repairs. Trucks... just don't have time or patience to learn by trial and error.

Good God my thumb typing is bad...

yes, second owner is covered on that sort of thing.

Thanks to this thread:

I called a local dealer that immediately agreed it was covered. So I pulled it from my mechanic and its at dealer now.

But not before I tried RAM customer care first. I spoke with 4 seperate people, and referenced 8 yr/80 k Emmissions Warranty, and all declined coverage.

Thanks to all comments here I was persistent and found it under warranty!

Anybody not wanting to wait 41 days or 3 months for an mgu replacement, if you have medium high mechanical skils, can perform the $25 bearing replacement. Alternatively any good mechanic can easily do it for you, if you know one. In that case, maybe the labor is $150, maybe more or maybe less.

Does tbat 8/80 Emissions warranty cover 2nd owners?

MAybe I overlooked a second owner that had this was covered.

I have 2020 limited, I bought with 18k. Now I have 47k miles and mine is going.

Thanks

I'm no expert but I would think the emissions warranty would transfer. I recommend taking it to the dealership to double-check and to get your name on the list.

Can some link or send the PDF of the warranty that says the generator is covered? I am having trouble finding a tangible document with it

This is from my '22, I believe all years should be the same.

Just for information, this warranty information should be in the truck's owner's manual. The thick one. Or online if the owners manual is missing.

Anyone who's had the alternator replace notice a hot smell that wasn't there before? I figured it was because it was new--but it's lingered.

I had mine replaced months ago now and its smelling like the windings in the MGU are still cooking. its very strange, and doesn't give me a lot of confidence in its longevity. I waited 8 weeks for the replacement to arrive. I really don't want to go through that again if the thing burns up a second time.

Well, I'm feeling better now that I know its not just me.
