2020 ram 1500 etorque constant squeaking/belt squeak?

[Bigga826]

anyone else notice the constant squeak coming from their 2019/2020? My neighbors have the 2019 5.7 non etorque and it does the same thing. Sounds like a 10 year old car. It the mornings after it rains its super loud and then goes down to a very low constant squeak. Today the dealership said " could not duplicate" but I can hear it standing right next to them.

I just heard this on my non-etorque 2019 Rebel Hemi this morning.

Super annoying for the price of these trucks

It’s because the second tensioner for the etorque is weak. I imagine there will be a recall or tsb on it eventually.

No. I've had two different eTorque trucks.

If your neighbor’s truck makes the same sound without eTorque, then it’s unlikely that eTorque is contributing to the issue.

I’ve had no belt/pulley sounds in 20 months of ownership (and I do have eTorque).

So interestingly, dealer is changing two tensioners and the belt. Funny thing is, the loaner they gave me does the same exact thing!! Starting to think it might be a design flaw for a lot of the newer models.

Same here, year old, quiet as a tomb.
