Possible etorque issue?

[22psc]

So 2 weeks ago finally got back into a truck after being with out one for two years. I bought a 2022 ram Laramie with the etorque. All of the sudden it started having trouble charging the battery randomly. Some days it’ll be perfectly fine and then boom randomly I’ll start getting the low voltage battery alert and it’ll drop down in the 11’s. I replaced the 12 volt battery and it did not fix the issue. It’s currently throwing these codes with a check engine light. The dealership is going to try and see if they can get it goodwilled from ram since it’s at 81k miles.

It’s strange to me that it’s it’s throwing a state of high and low charge. If anyone has seen this any information would be much appreciated. I’ve literally only had it for two weeks and commute two hours a day round trip for work.

I have a 2020 ram 5.7 bought new. My alternator has failed and no hope in sight. Only a dealer can install it apparently, and the dang part isn’t available on back order. Used ones if you can find them are not much cheaper than the new ones. I’ve owned three different ram trucks and this one will be the last. What’s a truck worth that will not run and can’t get repaired. It sure leaves a sour taste in your mouth paying on a vehicle that is useless. Anyone have any ideas where to get on. I’ve been on back order since November.

Mannn if only I knew before I bought it. When I first looked them up I couldn’t really find anything bad now all I’m finding is a massive back order.

I hear that. I wanted the GT package on mine, and the only option at the time was Etorque only. lucky us.
