- My girlfriends 2011 Jeep Liberty 3.7l v6 engine blew up on us on the way to Tucson from the Albuquerque balloon fiesta. Dropped a valve seat and locked the motor up. Destroyed a few things. Dad and me get it on the road again for under 500 (hopefully)

The thing that makes this job even better is that you did it for Emily, someone you care for. Making her happy is the greatest payment of all.
You did a great job babe! I’m so happy to be driving it again ❤️
Emily’s reaction was priceless, you’re a keeper!
Thanks Peggy! We need to visit again soon
Great job. Engine is quiet. Love the way you didn't rush the job and took a methodical approach. Cudos to Dad for sharing his expertise! Emily had a look of pure joy on her face when you gave it back to her.
Thank you!
So happy to see someone in America repairing the engine of his vehicle. Just hearing the number of times perfectly good vehicles are crushed over there due to a just a blown head gasket makes me sick. The American spirit lives on. 👍
That’s bold using the old rod! Glad it worked out alright and Emily got her car back.
Love this! Thanks for taking such good care of our Emily!!! ❤
Travis has become one of my favorite shows on CZcams. Keep up the great work!
Excellent job. Tons of labor to replace that one piston. You’re very lucky that you have your dad to help you. Thank you for sharing this video. 🙏
Her reaction had to be worth it. Cute couple.
So happy to see this and it makes me feel good
Yall did a great job! I'm sure Emily really appreciates you for your efforts.
My grandson has a 2003 liberty that had the same problem with 103,000 miles on it. He wanted to get another vehicle and use the jeep as a trade in. His father gave me the vehicle. I will be using your vehicle as a guide. you have given me a preview. Thanks.
I love your videos and I am in awe of how well you and your Dad get along. At least it appears that way. He and you are "budds".
Awww that smile at the end, totally worth it
And your Dad is awesome
Your dad cracked me up when you started the engine. He is an old mechanic was not surprised it started up. “Yep that’s what it’s supposed to do”
Feels good doanit. Hell yeah man, making people smile is the best. That first start up was something out of a fairytale lol, zero issues and ran perfect. Satisfying as all get out
Do more videos with your dad he has a wealth of knowledge we can all learn from
Good job Travis brag on your dad more I miss my dad
That was really nice of you. She seemed really happy.
Great quick job but always paying attention to details! A must in modern engines today. I applaud DAD for giving you only what you need for right advice and letting you figure things out for yourself if you can, with a little assurance from dad if needed.
Yeah he’s great!
So DAMN SATISFYING when it starts up with no knocking, leaking or engine light, GREAT JOB. That looked like a PAIN IN THE ASS TO ASSEMBLE.
The hard work is rewarding
Nice job! Almost looked like the chain was caught under the head when you torqued it down...
that's what I thought
Nice seeing you fix your Girls car .
I live in the uk and I have an 05 liberty .
She of an age she takes a bit to keep her on the road .
Yet she only has 86000 miles on her .
I know not the greatest Jeep , but she’s mine .
Kind regardsMartin x
I like these videos I really like the ones where you work with your dad.allways wanted one like that.keep it up
You doing that head rebuild with your old man reminds me of doing the same with my dad on an OHC 2 litre Cortina in the UK back in the early 80s. Good memories.
Love to watch you and your dad work on vehicles. Educational and entertaining all in one show. Keep them coming.
Your lucky to have a dad in your life. Cool you and your dad are friends. It also amazes me he can sit indian style at his age lol!
Yes my dads great
had a 2012 liberty with 3.7 thatdid same thing. glad to see you got it going again
Great video. Very educational. Enjoyed seeing your girlfriend’s reaction.
Enjoy the time with your Dad!
Awesome and prompt repair. I've got a '05 Liberty and '08 Commander with the same engine.
Awesome job Travis. I enjoyed watching this...I knew you'd do a great job😊
its always a good idea when you have a engine apart to do a cam crank correlation with a scan tool usually they run better and start quicker
Great job. Not sure what went wrong. I bought a 05 new in 04 and put 170K on it. Never touched the engine same as hers. Same plugs ran great. Also had a 97 dakota similar engine 217 K on it before wrecked.
Enjoy the time you have with your dad, I lost my dad to dementia first then he passed away. The smartest man I ever knew until this nasty disease took his life so enjoy every day you have with him. JS
Big Job;Great Surprise!
Great job you and your dad did
Can do attitude for the win. Did the same repair on a 2.8 Chev V6 back in ‘95 or ‘96
Good Man Travis
Mad skills.You and your dad should run a mechanic school.
My daughter had a Jeep Liberty, but it was the older body style. Also, a 3.7 liter. When she sold it, the mileage was well over two hundred thousand. It treated her pretty good other than the gas mileage which I do not believe was very good. I hope you did not get any gasket material into the coolant or oil passages.
Hi from the UK, I am new to the channel, very impressed with the detail you put into the videos keep up the good work!
Thank you for the compliment and for watching
I hv 01 Jeep Laredo so I was hook on this video and hard work you and your pops did ...
Good job. You and your dad saved a bundle by fixing it yourself. Well done.
Any Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge product with a .7 in the engine size are trouble. The 3.7 is famous for dropping valve guides. A friend of mine dropped one before any other damage pulled the head and had a machine shop do all the valve guides on that head. I warned him to do the other head as well while he had the intake off and the exhaust dropped but he thought he knew better than I did. He ran his Dodge Nitro for three days and dropped a valve guide on the other head. Live and learn.
I’m glad you found a girlfriend. I’m still looking a girl. But I’m happy for you man. Keep up the good work.😁
Thanks Noah!
Man you got a TON of "honey do" points for this one!
Should last me at least a year
Great job and knowledge.Thanks for sharing
First of your videos I have seen - you got a new subscriber.
That means a lot to my dad and me !
Man, I’ve been subscribed to your channel since the very first video I saw of yours a few months ago.
Nice job looks like you can just about fix anything
You and your Dad rock!
It great to see some work like my dad and I did so long ago
Earning points doing a thing you love is a win win credit to you mate
Well... the algorithm worked. I follow channels like Budget Buildz, Halfass Kustoms and Clunkers and Classics, and now out of nowhere this video showed up in my recs, and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing, so... new sub!!
Cheers from Buenos Aires!!

Best automotive CZcams channel
the 3.7 was prone to valve seat problems . Might want to move on from the Jeep to a Jeep with chrysler pentastar v6
Great job 👍👌

I had a ram pickup same 3.7 that did the same exact thing . I sold it got a cummins
good job! watching from the UK
Thank you
Good video as usual, the tree near your workbench and vise is one of our Aussie ones I think, a kurrajong.
You and your dad are good mechanics. A lot of know-how. Impressive achievement, and it was the icing on the cake to do it for someone you care about.
Great video thanks for sharing
Well it's better than it was before. New gaskets new oil well this goes on and on.. wasn't very nice of her to make you walk home though. 😲
always take out the top bolts first on the bell housing.
Good job
Ypu and your dad, did awesome. Proper job 👍👍
Thank you for watching
@@theetravisb nuff respek boss 👍
just came across this video, I didn't realize he worked on anything that required a metric tool.
I think it cranked so long because the injector rails were empty it usually takes a couple of key cycles to fill them
love my 08 Liberty
Awesome !❤
good work...l luv your videos
Great job on that piston!
Thank you!
I like seeing work on all vehicles except electric I helped work on jeep liberty once
good job
You did a good job. Cute GF. Best of luck on your CZcams adventure. I'll stay tuned in 🍻
Well done, saved a nice looking Jeep. Yea!
