Can you identify this sound in the video?
Hi I have a 2018 1500 V8 92k miles. Tried to capture the sound in the video but the engine noise covers it up a bit. Doesn’t sound squeaky like a belt, more of a rub??

It sounds like a rotational mass trying to stick. Like a spinning bearing trying to catch. Get a wooden dowel rod about 2 feet long. Press one end into yourr knuckle and then press the knuckle against that little flap of cartilage at your ear. Then press the other end to various parts of the engine. If the alternator has a bearing going out, it will be clearly heard.
