Greetings,
I am the unfortunate owner of a 2020 1500 with the 5.7 hemi and eTorque (4x4, limited trim) which I purchased new. Ironically, I traded up from a 2014 EcoDiesel because I was worried about engine reliability. Reliability hasn't been great with the 5.7. At 2650 miles, cylinder No. 2 rocker arm broke. It was fixed under warranty. At 66k miles, cylinder 3 lifter collapsed. I paid out of pocket to fix since the warranty was expired. Now at 85K miles, the MGU has failed. Again, I would be paying out of pocket except they aren't available and back ordered. I understand it will be months delayed.
Does anyone have any advice on how best to get an MGU? I cannot afford to go months without a functional vehicle...essentially a 5500 pound paper weight at this point.
Is this something I can contact @RamCares for assistance? Right now my truck is not at a dealership, but rather a local, independent repair shop but I question if they can even get an MGU from the local delaership.
Any help is appreciated.
