Can anyone suggest where to get a torque converter that will work on my 05 crd, vibration is bad now pulling a boat, and also going up steap hills. I can't find any parts numbers or suggestions on what to use....HELP!

Suncoast TCs are probably the best but pricey. Alternatively the "Euro" TC (so called as it's the OEM TC on export only CRDs from 2007 forward) is a solid alternative see http://idparts.com/catalog/index.php?cP ... 96d04608d2

If you want the the best bullet proof torque converter available for a Jeep CRD, get yourself a Suncoast, nothing else even comes close to comparing with the torque number ratings it will handle! Don't make a $ mistake and have to do it twice, do it right the first time and you will not be sorry! The best does cost a little more money, it always does, you get what you pay for in the end! :wink:
It actually even makes the motor idle a little smoother due to its heavier mass from having billet steel construction.
I speak from experience, been there done that. :cry:

Read this thread, lots of good information on TC's.

Stock Mopar OEM TC is rated for 300 ft. lbs. max (406 Nm)
Mopar Euro TC is rated for 400 ft. lbs. max (~ 542 Nm)
Suncoast CRD-1ES TC is rated for 600 ft. lbs. max (813 Nm)

Its your choice, make a wise one!

If you decide to do the euro, I have a brand-new-in-the-box one I bought from id parts back in February that I'd sell.

If you pull the transmission to replace the TC, be wise and replace the front pump and install a Transgo Kit!!!!
You will be glad you did later on down the road. :wink:

Just euro TC in 90 K miles. So far so good. About 25 K of those miles was towing 5000 lbs.

I think I will go with the Euro, does anyone have the part numbers for the pump? And is this a MOPAR part or aftermarket?
