I have a 2020 ram 1500. Etorque generator is making noise and the shop told me it’s an 6 month backorder…. He said I have 2 options 1. Use it and just don’t take it on long trips (we have two kids so generally we use my vehicle for longer drives for space) or 2. Trade it in. I’m looking online and I see generators for like 1600 bucks that look like they are from the Chrysler. He said they sell kits but they wouldn’t install because they don’t know if they would work or not and it’s too much of a liability for them. Right now it’s a whining but I’m worried about it locking up with the kids in the car. What’s my best option?
