    eTorque amperage

    There will always be voltage drop. The impedance of the woofers will change constantly causing the amp to see different loads. the lower the load the amp sees, the more power you will get, and also the more amperage it will draw. as long as the system has the amperage to maintain it, the voltage...

    eTorque amperage

    Sorry if i sound ignorant, but what does this mean? Also, how do you check for TSB? This is the first new vehicle Ive ever bought, honestly if it were up to me id still drive something with a carburetor and no computer lol

    eTorque amperage

    ill be looking to run a 5000.1 and 600.4...of course, with impedance i wont see near that much power but still iffy on the voltage concerns since no traditional alternator to back the draw

    eTorque amperage

    Next startup it was only at 13.0 again. Im over trying to understand this technology. Just gonna drive it and be happy. Hopefully I'm just completely overthinking the whole scenario. But, in case i'm not are the updates automatic or does the dealer have to program them

    eTorque amperage

    Thanks for the help, mine actually was around 14.4v after i left the dealership today. typically it stays much lower. They did nothing to the truck. I did speak with the tech and I still dont really i understand whats going on. Just going to go with it and assume they are correct and hope all is...

    eTorque amperage

    I am planning a trip back to the dealership in the morning. I'm thinking since they say this is what it should be at, then in theory any other etorque on the lot should also be about the same? Could very well just be my thought process and not understanding the new tech in these vehicles...

    eTorque amperage

    dual alt brackets are obtainable, the earlier thought was can we use a bracket to add an alternator onto the etorque trucks

    eTorque amperage

    issue being is that the dealer is testing as good...claims that batteries plus and myself tested wrong due to the way the battery is wired into the truck and the 48v in line. I have an xs power battery im borrowing from a friend to test run in the truck next week. i know its good, and it could...

    eTorque amperage

    i had this idea myself. ran into 2 possible issues. 1 being the size of the belt would mean the alternator would need to have the pulley to match, shouldnt be a big deal at all. 2 would be possible belt slippage, which again is possible in any situation i suppose. I actually spoke to a tech last...

    eTorque amperage

    when seeing this voltage auto headlights, hallogen. heat off seats and wheel off radsio on, volume no more than 15 as i think it sounds like trash as is.even started thinking the trucks sensor may be wrong but tested with 2 flukes and had same results. cant seem to find where to test output...

    eTorque amperage

    for lack of better words all this is making me lose my **** lol. Truck is now 3 weeks old, 600ish miles and batt voltage is CONSTANTLY down between 12.2 - 12.6 volts. In my mind, that is a dead battery. I personally have a couple older style load testers. Start by charging overnight, then test...

    Any backseat entertainment system(DVD or Blue-ray player) to recommend?

    Audiovox HR7012 7 inch Headrest Entertainment System for 2019 - 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 (qualitymobilevideo.com) these are pricey in my opinion, but should match factory look of headrests

    Any backseat entertainment system(DVD or Blue-ray player) to recommend?

    you could do a generic set that straps to the headrest like that. if your talking full time tvs in headrests id recommend running the power to the fuse panel for safety purposes

    eTorque amperage

    I personally have no idea. He did mention I would likely need a larger dc to dc converter to go with the h.o. generator. May look into it down the line, after factory warranty is up. One thing for sure is the h.o. unit was quoted considerably less cost than a replacement generator

    I found an upgraded high output generator option. However i think im going to just add a few banks of supercaps and see how it does

    Connect subwoofer amp with 8.4 screen and 6 speaker system

    Right. I habe found an option of switching to a high output generator so theres that option

    eTorque amperage

    Did you ever find any answers to this? Recently bought one myself, trying to decide what I can safely put in it as I typically add a high output alternator to my vehicle to support my stereo system already. Not sure that would be possible with this set up

    Connect subwoofer amp with 8.4 screen and 6 speaker system

    New member here. Been searching, but not finding my concern anywhere else, maybe someone here can help? Just bought a '21 ram with etorque. I love my audio, at levels most would just consider obnoxious😂 that being said ive always ran a high output alternator to support the power demands...
