Autostop Eliminator

Well, you obviously don’t understand the system. Disabling the Stop/Start does not disable the rest of the benefits provided by the eTorque system. Less brake wear, better cooling as explained at 9:10 of the video, much smoother transmission shifts, initial start when first moving, helps keep the engine in MDS longer (which is smooth as silk on our two family eTorques), etc. I’m not certain but believe it may even help with AC as both are arctic cold in 99 degree weather!! Plus, like Ron White, I’m LOADED and spend my money on eTorque, hookers and tequila!

See below video as there are many other benefits of eTorque even when Stop/Start is disabled:

Hybrid or not, 2019 Ram 1500 eTorque does some smart things with 48V tech

As more mainstream vehicles, like the 2019 Ram 1500 lineup, get increasing levels of electrification, but stop short of becoming fully electric or even full-fledged hybrids, it can be easy to get lost in semantics. Generally speaking, the term “mild hybrid” means some energy can be recaptured by...

Yes.... obviously lol.
I have Etorque...I know exactly what it does. But the point of auto start stop is to limit idling emissions and gas usage while at a stop. Hence...you paid for it. I agree with the other benefits but trying to insult me doesnt add to any credibility you think you already had.

Wasn’t insulting you...simply educating readers who don’t understand what eTorque does. You obviously took it personally but there are many on this and other forums who fail to understand what eTorque does.

Well you could've just asked and I would've explained it to you. And of course I took it personally....your comment was directed at me. Lol. Either way man...it's all good. But just FYI...the auto start stop has actually saved me a lot of gas during city driving.

I do apologize if my words were too strong as my intentions were not to offend. I live in a rural area and we have not been driving them in city driving conditions since we purchased these Rams thus the reason the Eliminator is a better option for us. Perhaps if I lived in Houston it would make more sense but then again I don’t know if I’d drive a truck on a daily basis in that madness of traffic.

Ah ok that makes sense. I was going to ask if you ever do city driving with a lot of traffic lights. I know when we get stop and go traffic on the highway here in Vegas that's when I have to turn my Auto S/S off.
