Adding a battery pack to my etorque system

That's going in the firewall the box is hidden in the tool box which really ain't much of a tool box anymore

It's like the mds system if your foot is on the gas it's a standard gas guzzling v8 @ 2valve heads.

Check out this drag race between a 2020 RAM 1500 w/ eTorque and 2019 RAM 2500 Power Wagon with the 6.4L 392 HEMI. The results are in the video so check it ou...

The system should enhance a little to 20 percent atleast instead of 10%. I believe there both Remy motors are ac Delco which is real good not cheap

I'm doing factory colors to black it is landscaping truck won't even notice the solar cell on the roof

 

[Anthonystempak]

I need atleast 2 will work and a big main by the motor.
**** it says the Pacificas hybrid battery weighs 368lbs in 2019

Or a 2019 etorque setup to charge a Pacifica or main pack.
Still have to find out if you can jack into the etorque pack. You should be able to access positive and negative the etorque pack has a 48volt to 12volt converter built in.

My cost for a 2019 etorque is gonna be about 1700$ installed...

It just seems like you'd be throwing good money after bad. It is... what it is. It's all so integrated and intertwined that I just don't see you getting what you want. If you want an electric truck, go buy an old one and retromod it into an electric truck.

I’m probably wrong in my thinking because I haven’t had my 1500 very long and haven’t figured it all out yet by any means - but I thought the operation of the etorque system was primarily for initial launch from a stop when the motor is restarting, and maybe sudden initial acceleration to disguise kicking out of MDS operation? I thought it’s main purpose was to disguise these transitions. Does it actually kick in for sustained operation during acceleration or just spirited driving?

You're looking for Flux Capacitor technology, maybe go forward 25 years, for now go EV, whatever's in that can I want it!!!

Back in the 60's there was a guy building kits to adapt an electric motor to gas engines,he might be better off attempting to do that,then try to adapt the e-torque system to his 2001 truck

Etorque just kicks in when you start to roll and shuts off at a pretty low speed. I don't recall what that is off the top of my head, but I'm sure Google can help. After that it just assists during transmission shifts to smooth out the feel.

Given the communication style and apparent base knowledge of the OP, I wouldn't take anything he said as fact without sufficient verification from other sources.

I was googling at the same time you replied. This was the most concise explanation of the system I came upon. Assuming it’s technically correct, it says e-torque only provides “brief“ torque boost off a stop, during a shift and coming out of MSD 4 cylinder mode. So at least to me, trying to modify the e-torque system to provide a continuous, additional 130 ft-lbs during extended acceleration (0 to 60 or Qtr mile) is sort of like looking down a rabbit hole. Probably take a very much, much larger battery and extensive revision of the engine management control programming. And is the motor/ generator even capable of extended torque delivery without a failure or limp mode?

The all-new 2019 RAM 1500 debuted with eTorque mild hybrid technology, an efficiency-enhancing system that’s exclusive to the segment. So here’s an overview...

Anyone?

It doesn't kick in for any sustained time. At it's basics, it's an electric system that keeps the truck alive when the engine is stopped and starts the engine without wear and tear on the engine battery or starter. At the most, it' gives you a 1 second bump in power when taking off and under towing. I genuinely can not tell ANY difference in Etorque vs non Etorque of my old truck.

your in a league on your own. what is the gain of this ?
