Come on - do you really believe that?Our handyman needs an alternator for his 2022 Ram hybrid vehicle. There is a 2-3 month wait and they quoted the repair at $11000. This supply problem is everywhere. Scary really.
Replacing the alternator on a hybrid 2022 Ram 1500 (equipped with the eTorque system) typically costs between $1,000 and $2,500 at a professional shop or dealership. [1, 2, 3]
Because this vehicle is a mild hybrid, it does not use a conventional 12V alternator. Instead, it uses a 48-volt Motor Generator Unit (MGU), which serves as the starter, alternator, and hybrid motor helper. This advanced system makes the repair significantly more expensive than a standard truck
