| Post subject: | Torque Converter Opinions? |
Hi All, I bought an 05' CRD in late December. I want to get the GDE Hot tune, so I'm going to need a new torque converter. I can't decide on the Suncoast, or the Euro. I see a lot of people on here running the Euro TC, and I know GDE has had good luck with it. Also, is it a good idea to do the front pump too? I really want to do this job one time and be done! Just looking for opinions and feedback... Thanks in advance! -Mike |

Only change the pump if the seal is leaking. (Seals are no longer available for the original pump.) DOC |

Might be a cheaper option viewtopic.php?f=5&t=64956 Talk to daddysdvds, he might be looking for betta testers |

I have installed the suncoast T/C only, with GDE's hot tune, and am very pleased with the performance of the combination. |

I'm not sure which one would be considered euro spec. Either one is still cheaper than the euro tc which all of them are re-built now. I'm gonna call tomorrow and get more info |

OK, I decided to go with the Suncoast and also ordered the Transgo shift kit. It's not cheap, but I want to go with the best parts I can get... Now, back to the pump issue. My Jeep has had the F37 update, and torque converter replaced. It was done back in 2006. I have the invoice from the PO, but all it says is F37 and torque converter. It does not mention the pump. So I don't know if the pump has been replaced... I'm already 800.00 into this, maybe I should just get the replacement pump 68009879AB too? What do you guys think??? |

I replaced the pump - I figured most of the cost was the labor and TC although this can be a function of your finances too. - on the F37 - replacing the pump was dealership call - if they heard a special 'rattle' that meant it had a problem and they replaced the pump - no rattle - no pump. |

Ordered it ALL! Suncoast, Trans Go, Front pump, and mopar filters. Should end up with a bulletproof 545RFE when I'm done! |

Have been running the hottune for 2~ ish month now, i get shudder like hell when i floor it and it revs to 3k or when i floor it when its above 64(top gear). normal driving, no issues at all. I rarely tow, and the tranny has 162k on it, so im hoping the torque converter will last until the tranny completely fails, and then i'll have everything rebuilt/replaced. |
