People, Today I received an unsolicited call from my local dealer. The diesel tech has a CRD in the shop with an oil consumption problem and possibly some EGR clogging related to the factory recommended engine oil, namely Mobil 1 0W-40. He asked me for information concerning Amsoil and Red Line oils. I am doing this on my own, but could you submit the following information to me? I would like to give this to the tech to see if there is a trend toward a problem. 1. MY of your CRD 2. Mileage to date 3. Which oil you use, including viscosity and how long you have been using it. 4. Oil change interval. 5. If you have to add oil between changes, at what mileage and how often. Thanks |

Replying to: nescosmo (Mar 23, 2009 8:45 pm) Please give me the part numbers and names you used for your tranny rebuild. I am ordering the suncoast tq and transgo shift kit. What other things did you replace with aftermarket? Name of the pump? Etc. I am sick of the shudder and sloppy shifting so I am biting the bullet and using my tax refund.
