How many miles (kilometers) did you have since the F37 to TC failure?
Are you going with stock parts or aftermarket?

I had the F37 done in December 2006 or about 23K miles ago. What is so funny is that the original TC was fine when they removed it.
 
As to parts, I am doing this under warranty (stock parts). Before the year is over, the trans gets the transgo kit. If the TC fails again, then I will put a Suncoast or other high performance part in.

Nescosmo,
 
I have been using the K&N in my CRD for more than 24K miles. There is no oily film anywhere in the intake tube to the turbo and in fact it is spotless. I spoke to the tech sometime ago about the K&N and he said no problem.
 
As to the oil, it gets changed every 5000 miles. I use Amsoil full synthetic 15W-40. It specs out like Mobil 1 5W-40 diesel motor oil except Noack is much lower.
 
I will look on EBay for the CVCC.

Finally fixed!!! by winter2

Spoke with the dealer today and I should be getting my CRD back this evening. Items replaced included the torque converter which had overheated (turned blue) and surprisingly the rear main seal. That went for reasons unknown.
 
Cost $0.00
 
Thank goodness for extended warranties.

Caribou,
 
No skidpads. I do not go off road, mostly highway, some stop and go.
 
To update, got the CRD back today. The tech told me that the dealer that had done the F37, left out several bolts that hold the engine and trans together. Also, a bolt that holds an exhaust hanger to the CRD was also missing. Turns out that the dealer that did the F37 also replaced the front pump. Rear main seal was also leaking and that got replaced.
 
Will be adding an auxiliary trans cooler in the near future.

Winter... what year is your CRD. If it is an 05 then you have 70k of warranty on the tranny.

It is a 2005. I also purchased an extended warranty when I bought the CRD and it has already paid for itself.
 
The tech did a great job. My CRD runs like a banshee and pulls up hills with a great deal more alacrity. The Florida shop who did the initial F37 must have messed something up. The CRD did not run this well after the FL dealer worked on it.
 
I am going to watch my FE to see if it changes.

Can you find out what the fix was that your dealer did? I have an 06 CRD with 34k on it and have big issues with the fuel economy. I have never even at hwy speeds 70-75 have never achieved over 21mph city 18-19. When I purchased this vehicle the claims were 22-27 hwy I guess that must have been at 45 mph. I keep up on fluid changes etc.. Please let us all know what type of fuel consumption changes you see with this fix. I had the F37 completed torque converter and transmission pump along with a reprogram of the computer. As far as the fuel ecomnomy no changes at all.
