Handful of us have had the issue in this thread.Today I bought a 2022 Laramie with 5.7 with etorque as it was equipped as I wanted. I'd have preferred a standand 5.7. Did I make a mistake? Are they reliable? Any thoughts appreciated, Thanks
The autostop eliminator is one of my favorite mods.I’m a bit hesitant about it as well. After ordering I tried to change to a regular Hemi without but it was too late. Only time will tell if I like it or not. I’ll give it a fair chance. Good thing is I found the Auto Start/Stop Eliminator so I can permanently turn off if I choose.
I have replaced more Hemi engines in 5th gen Rams vs eTorque battery or Generator.Last time I checked the eTorque starter/generator is around $1,400 and the battery pack is around $1,600.
I tend to own trucks long after the warranty has expired so that's a hard pass...
I don't understand why it turns back on when you shift it into park either. It's kind of stupid. As for creeping slowly I've found that if you barely take your foot off the brake and don't depress it hard you can get it to where it won't shut off.I had Hemi eTorque on my 2019 Big Horn and loved it. That's why I wanted it on my 2022. But they seemed to have tweaked it to the point I no longer like it and wish I wouldn't have gotten it now. My simple complaint is that the Stop/Start function of the system shuts off the engine before the truck comes to a complete stop. It's a minor annoyance in normal driving but it makes rolling stops/yields impossible and slowly pulling into my garage or a parking space is very annoying when it shuts off a couple times before I actually come to the spot where I want to stop. Then when I shift to Park it restarts. Kinda defeats the gas saving feature of Start/Stop. Most times I remember to turn it off before I park but sometimes I don't. But really, why should I have to if it's such a good system? Now I'm sorry I paid the cash for it and sorry I have to carry the extra weight of the system around if I'm just shutting it off all the time. It's a hit against my payload.
