    E torque alternator.

    Update here... just got my truck back. Almost 60 days waiting for replacement MGU. I gotta say, Suncoast Chrysler,Jeep, RAM in St. Pete FL has great service dept. Gave me a loaner truck and kept me aware of progress getting part.

    Problem with back two windows and sliding rear window

    I can comment on rear slider. If the motor is clearly trying to work but window seems jammed, ita likelu off track / needs dry spray lubricant. I used 2 methods. If you have long arms or can get help, from back aeat activate the switch while you push/pull in that direction. Another time I...

    ETorque Issue?

    Yeah, noticed a whine first, followed by the click with the MGU. My mechanic pointed to loose bearings making click as they loosen and rattle. MGU goes between 40k-50k miles. If you pop the hood with engine running, you can distinctly hear the noise coming from MGU, if thats your issue. I...

    New to Ram

    Congrats on moving to the dark side. You'll probably get more spontaneous road head since you don't need to worry about moving any shift lever in the RAM! 😜

    E torque alternator.

    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...

    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...

    Would You Consider One?

    I don't like EV's, but I think EVs have a place: 2nd vehicle, commuter, short range, errands. We can all agree every household should have a real truck. The 1000 lb tow capacity would still force me to have a V8. And like jkm312 said, I'd give up the crew cab for a regular cab, 8 ft bed, if...

    V-8

    I choose a V8 when I plan to keep a truck more than 5 yrs and or tow a lot. I think the smaller motors offer a lot for those who commute high miles and trade in 5 or so years. The smaller motors have enough power to tow. But the mpg advantage seems to diminish under load, so not much...

    Sun visors

    2020 Limited, 44,000 mi... passenger visor broke 2 yrs ago. I have the aftermarket fix, but leave it broken. Gives passenger something legitimate to complain about. Bonus: I like to stick it back in place just so it falls... changes the subject immediately at appropriate times.

    Water trails

    Leaf blower is good. Another solution: Meguires Ultimate Quick detail for those water streaks after wash... also good to keep light dust off and bird bombs between washes. I also use the Meguires system: Ultimate Liquid wax (actually polymer sealant) Ultimate Quik Wax (spray wax after every...
