Replaced Hybrid Battery Pack

[Bigzack]

My 2019 Bighorn 5.7 Hemi E-Torque 1500 fried the 48volt Hybrid Battery Pack
31000 miles luckily factory warranty covered all of it
Unfortunately I’ve been waiting since the first week of June for it to come in, came to pick it up the 12 volt battery was dead also
Now it back into the bay
We’ll see how it goes

 

[Dewey]

Yikes. Any idea how much it would have costed out of warranty?

 

[Bigzack]

$2500 plus labor tax ext.

Have you read the list of "exclusions"? :-\

 

[66Fuelie]

Yep, I have had CNA extended warranty on my last 4 trucks and never had a problem.

Do you by chance know if you were doing anything strenuous when it fried?

I have the lifetime also and remember the thread over the etorque.

FWIW: Neither the original 3/36 warranty or the MOPAR extended warranties directly cover etorque.
The Federal Emission Warranty covers the following parts of the Ram eTorque system for eight years/80,000 miles, whichever comes first.

• Belt Driven Hybrid Starter Generator Assembly
• Catalytic Converter
• Powertrain Control Module
• Power Pack Unit - 48 Volts

Good point, this is my first eTorque.
Since my truck turns 1 year old this month and I already have 50K miles on it.
I wonder if it is possible to convert eTorque to Non eTorque??

[66Fuelie]

Yep,
My truck is my retirement work truck. I drive a lot of miles, usually go thru a truck every 2 years.

yes IMO.
rewire the electrical system to put an alternator back in after removing the belt driven generator. several pullies. and several hundred dollars in labor.

plus other stuff I did not mention

to shut up the trolls

There are likely a lot of BCM and PCM changes that would need to be made. So no, it's very likely it wouldn't be that easy.

Yeah right... try that and let us know how it goes.

Latest frustration with my Pickup, last Friday they finally received the 48 volt battery and replaced it, when I went to pick it up the 12 Jump the next day to Saturday morning the day after they claimed it’s fully charged no issues they said, i go to move my truck dead battery, now I’m fuming I finally get a call back this morning drive it over we need to do more testing,
Get home jump start it go to take it there, I don’t make it 100 yards
Won’t shift out of first it’s stuck in low
