Can e Torque be swapped with an alternator?

[G Gerard]

There are posts discussing the issues of getting replacement e Torque motors if they go bad. I am curious, if that happens, can a regular alternator be installed and basically delete the e Torque? 22 Bighorn 4X4 with the 5.7 e Torque.

From everything I've read, it's a big negativo!

I'm not sure anyone has done the research on exactly what needs to be done. Or if they have I haven't seen anything posted on it. If anyone can answer this I'd think it'd be @Jimmy07.

Someone posted here or 1 of the FB groups about a company that rebuilds them. Obviously, if you're not under warranty, but I think it's 8 years/ 80K miles

I got to believe the engine is the same. I guess it depends on what else is added to an e Torque that depends on the motor.

The whole wiring and software for starters.

i suggest the best way to remove ET would be to totally get it out of your garage - as in trade it on a truck without it. other than that it is what it is.
