Consumer Description

The etorque alternator bearing failure locked it up causing the vehicle to die in traffic while attempting to make a left turn. This alternator had been replaced 13 months earlier due to a bearing failure. I have now been waiting 2.5 months for replacement and was told today by Ram dealer that orders are blocked until the end of feb. The last time it failed I found the only one in the state to make the repair but not as lucky this time. 5000 on backorder nationwide with no delivery date. Truck is now useless
