Starter replacement

[KarsonR]

Has anyone replace the starter on a E torque yet? I’m referring to the actual starter on the motor. I had a battery die I may replaced the battery with a new one and now I’ve had to hit the starter a couple times with a hammer to get it to start. The starters just clicking. Haven’t had a chance to actually replace it yet didn’t know if anyone has had to do this

low battery might have fried the starter

The starter is the same between the non-etorque and etorque if I'm not mistaken.

How bad is the swap out?

I seriously doubt that many people here have swapped out a starter yet. Did you search for any videos on it? You could always do a write-up for the forum when you replace it.

Thanks for all the quick replies. After a few phone calls it looks like the starter still covered under the power train warranty. I still have to get it towed to the dealer

could be interesting when the dealer tech sees hammer marks on the starter....tell them "it must have been rocks bouncing up under the truck".

Sometimes I am amazed at all the items that are covered under the powertrain warranty. I wouldn't have thought they would include this. Good on Ram!

I would be surprised if it actually is covered by powertrain. 3/36 yes.

I assumed that's what the dealer told him. Sometimes dealers get things covered for good customers too.

From the sm.

I assumed the etorque motor/gen was also the starter and there wasn't a traditional starter. It appears my assumption was incorrect. Is the etorque motor ever used for starting?

The 2022 service is different/updated. All is the same but what they added in the picture, using a long extension and a swivel 15mm socket.

They etorque motor/gen is used to start the engine only when start/stop is activated. There is a starter under the truck used when starting the engine with the push to start button.

Need some starter help, my truck starts fine most of the time. about every 4th start it will make a screeching noise and won't start. Then on the next crank it will start just fine. Any ideas? Powertrain warranty just expired. 2019 1500 Laramie. HELP

Yeah, I just had to do mine on a 2020. The black plate does NOT come off the way it did with the 4th Gen. You just need to disconnect the starter first so you have some room to pull it out. You'll need elbows and extensions but it's pretty quick

Please tell me how you did this on a 2020! I've tried swivel 15mm socket with extensions and more swivel knuckles and cand even get them onto the bottom bolt of starter because lack of clearance from the black plate!!
