I guess you know there's a recall on the T/C . They replaced ours a couple of weeks ago .

 

The wife's got an 05 CRD liberty sport. She traded in her 03 toyota rav for the jeep. It now has around 20,000 miles on the clock, and the only problem was an EGR issue at 7,000 miles. I do get to drive it every once in awhile, and my only complaint is that it is kinda cramped for your feet. She says it is getting around 22 mpg city/26 hwy.

Another thing that baffled me was that the DC dealer, and their tech's told use to use mobile 0w-40 synthetic motor oil since new. It just seemed kinda strange to me to break in a new diesel engine with a synthetic motor oil. Mobile 0w-40 synthetic was also listed in the owners manual as well.

 

Ahhh Yes. The infamous F37. DCX in their "Admit to nothing, Deny Everything" mentality of the whole thing decided against labeling it a full blown RECALL and sugar coated it by calling it a customer satisfaction recall.

According to the letter we got (I'm sure everyone got the same letter) they stated they would be more than happy to replace the T/C. Which, in and of itself would be OK, but they're just gonna put another stock T/C back in which may last longer than this one did, maybe not. AFAIK they haven't reworked the T/C to beef it up any.

The thing that gets me is they also wanna do an ECM Re-flash while doing the F37. Which from what I gather, Detunes the engine to produce less torque. Theoretically prolonging T/C life.

I'm not at all trying to pick on you RickG. But I would like to know if your Lib has the same seat of the pants feel as it did before the recall?

 

It's my wife's vehicle and I rarely drive it . I notice a fairly frquent hesitation when you press the accelerator though . It acts like it stalls .

 

See the sig... Love smoking little honda civics with it.

 

my wife has a 06 limited and we have the predator 2030 45hp/90ftlbs torque chip on it and works real good. little things hauls butt, have 15k on it and no probs.
