Post subject:  Backorder Jeep Torque Converter? Euro not available???
Issue: I cannot get factory torque converter to save my life. I ordered the euro tc and a day or so later I get an email saying my order is cancelled since the part is for export only or from another vendor telling me the part is on backorder.

Is anyone willing to share with me and the forum, what the current part no. is for the factory torque converter and let me know who has any in stock? I'm dead in the water without a TC.

Thanks!
Drew

Why not just get a KJ remanufactured heavy duty one from TorqueConverter1 (Ring Johnny)?

X2. I have HD TC's from torqueconverter1.com on both my Jeep and my 2002 E350 Diesel. They are both functioning great. Johnny is "Johnny-on-the-spot" with communication. I had my TCs within days.

Go for that.

If you still want the Euro converter, it looks like there are 13 dealers that have them on hand.

I can send you the list if you want.

Mr. Mopar,
I'd love to have that list. Also, if the EUro TC is not being sold in the USA, what did Jeep replace it with, part no. wise? My local dealership won't release a part number for me or price match any of the larger online Jeep dealerships who sell at a better price.

Thanks!
Drew

I am pretty curious as well, I got a quote from him online, 190 bucks shipped and no core fee... Sounds almost to good to be true... Not sure if I am willing to gamble or not.... I would rather not throw away 190 dollars but my biggest concern is pulling transmission and not being happy with the product.

519 TC's sold this year alone on eBay and he only has one complaint

I can only tell you what 2 months has brought me from these TCs. I have one on the Jeep and on my box truck. My box truck is a 7.3l Powerstroke and I drive that thing like a boss, in the city, daily.

All is well.

For what it's worth.
When it came to updating the TC, I was already on my way to putting $5000 in the Jeep. I didn't have time to wait for a Euro, and I didn't have the cash to go with Suncoast.

I rolled the dice with Johnny.

So far, so good.

A public thank you to Mr. Mopar for helping me out.

68037142AA Original upgraded TC/Euro TC for CRD liberty <--some vendors may have this item in stock or get it for you.

RL037142AA replaced 68037142AA. Bad news: RL037142AA is now a restricted item for export only. <---you should be able to find a vendor who has in stock and can sell it to you. If not in stock, it'll be restricted for export only.

R8037142AA is the PN for the latest Euro converter only (no bolts with this part number, converter ONLY).

Did I want the Suncost? You betcha but I'm at 116k miles and I doubt my engine will last another 60k miles given the superb history of this engine. Why waste the money?

Personally, I am not pulling anything with the Jeep. If I ever do, it will be something small. After what I just went through with this thing, I'm going to drive it like its a piece of glass.

Make it last.

Ok, I have to ask. What engine history are you referring too? I haven't spent much time on the forum but it seems most think this engine is pretty bullet proof. I know the EGR system is an engineering joke. Ha ha on the consumer but what else? So far I have made it to 130K without any major trouble. Bone stock CRD just with the MAF unplugged. Normal maintenance/wear items (glow plugs, fuel head and CAS hoses). Now I know that I have to upgrade the converter to use the GDE turbo upgrade but that's my own baby. Is there other issues I need to look out for?

I second that public thanks to Mr. Mopar. That was really cool of him to offer that help.

Post subject:  Re: Backorder Jeep Torque Converter? Euro not available???
Do some more reading on this forum and you'll see that our bulletproof engine is a POS so is everything wrapped around the Jeep (Chrysler) logo as far as I'm concerned. Shoot, even the cloth fabric seats suck because they leave white residue when you wet vac/steam clean them and Jeep's fix is a silly TSB on the issue.

Better yet, PM Geordi and ask his opinion on the engine

Gotta go, just got my new front pump and will be replacing it and other parts on that super reliable bulletproof POS 545RFE transmission. Its a sad day when a Ford tranny outlasts another brand.

Just and FYI, I was able to order a Euro torque converter from http://www.mopar-wholesale.com/ They still have some in stock. $322.00 with a $100.00 core. Not bad I guess but it is the RL037142AA part number. I got it on my doorstep today. So no back order.

My only complaint is their shipping department lacks in the way they pack stuff. They don't believe in packing peanuts or bubble wrap or anything. Just throw it in a box and send it on it's way. My glow plug kit was lose in a box with the new fuel filter/head assembly. The water in fuel sensor had punched through the box when UPS threw it around. I ordered a new intake elbow gasket and they stuck it in with the torque converter along with the new bolts. The gasket got beat up pretty bad by the converter and two of the four bolts are MIA. I sent them a request for more bolts today, we'll see if they make good on it.
