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.

Okay,
 
Now for some questions.
 
1. Are you a lead foot when you accelerate from a stop?
2. Have you changed the air filter yet?
3. Which oil do you use and how often do you change it?
4. Is the trans full of fluid (IOW is it full?)
5. Are the hoses to and from the CAC in good order?
6. Have you ever cleaned the boost sensor?
7. Have you ever blown the EGR valve's "nose"?
 
I generally travel at speeds not greater than 65 MPH. Once you start pushing this baby past 2000 RPM it starts eating fuel. At 75 MPH cruise I get about 25 MPG. At 65 MPH I get 28 MPG and at 60 - 62 MPH I get 30 - 31 MPG. I also use cruise control as this little guy loves to run.
 
As for the fix, they changed out the torque converter and checked everything else. The TC had failed but was not blue as I was first told.
 
Are you in Florida? On a trip back from southern FL, we were greeted by a couple in a white CRD near Jacksonville on Route 95. Might you be them?

Today I saw a Grey CRD in Orlando at Orange Ave going south and turn on Sand Lake rd to the air port.
