In this video we pick right up where we left off looking at this Jeep Liberty 3.7L. We determined in part one that the #4 and #6 exhaust valves are not opening. Let’s pull the valve cover off and have a look to see if the rocker arms have fallen off. -Enjoy!

V-5 sounds pretty good!
Once you're done with the stuff they're paying you for, STOP. Always good advice.
Thank you Eric…!!! I learn a lot from every video you produce, but this one was extra good…!!! We got to see how to diagnose the issue, plus the intangibles like, the blurps that come up from scan tool to scan tool…!!!
Nice… good information
Yet another job well done Sir, want to congratulate you for excellent knowledge of this engines, I,m working with BMW cars exclusively..
greetings from the Northern Territory.. Ted EDU
So changing oil & filter on time is essential for these motors
Test
Excellent write up
Wish you could've elaborated on systems you encountered having issue will try this thsnks
Nice work man! I aint got no fancy dancy pico,
Therefore i dont diagnose mopar 4.7 and 3.7 the same way , 9 outta 10 its a follower or lash adjuster failure
Man THANK YOU!! I watched this and went to check mine and that was what was wrong with it!!! You saved me from a lot of headaches!
Thanks for the video ! Breaking open my valve covers in the am. As my liberty is doing the exact same thing.
Change the oil to full synthetic and stay up on your oil changes and you might be surprised on how well it could still last.
This is why I do a Seafoam treatment in the crankcase every year or so just before an oil change, to get the sludge and gunk out of these surfaces.
No valve seat drop they got really lucky
please can you help me to find a memory of jeep liberty motor kk3.7 ou3.8, 2010,
Lol, Bob’s your Uncle. Classic
I had a misfire on 2 and 4 changed the plugs and coils misfire came back after 2 days of driving good. What next?
Junks
Good day everyone that comments to this problems solved, I'm having problems to same jeep @my place of work,how can get in touch with you sir and it very urgent,we have up to 7 liberty Jeep given the same problems thanks
Run some marvel mystery oil thru it
Ok, so I listen ed to the video again so did it need a new coil? Does it need new rockers as well? I don't know what rockers are😵😩
I didn't hear exactly what was wrong with it.Did say what was wrong with it. I just bought a 2009 Jeep Liberty that was running good last but went to go start for worl and it will not stay running. Just like this Jeep but with less noise. I am a lady and I don't know to do! I had my mechanic put it on the diagnostic machine just like you did but he said nothing with the engine was wrong. Now it wont run just like this one! What did you do to this one to get to run smooth and stay on. Did you clean something?
my 150,000 mile 2008 Liberty runs just fine.
My 04 Jeep Liberty drop the valve seat in the number four cylinder and gave the same symptoms this one was having. My fix was new heads
Hhhhmmm. Do I understand this correctly. But if the intake valve is not opening (stuck). Would that perhaps create a back pressure through the intake circuit. Like, would air puff out of the throttle body?
Really enjoyed watching these 2 parts. Considering when it came in to now . Its almost a new car. I only wished there where more honest mechanics out there like your self. Thats why i love watching and learning from you. Great job.
The worst part is they're likely to pull that piece of cardboard, slap an 'as is – no warranty' price sticker on the window and do NOTHING to mitigate the known problems. Somebody is going to be buying an expensive parts trap.
Me being a tech needs a faster diagnosis LOL. Put the fix in the description
If it were mine I would change those lifter followers and clean all the top end and maybe flush a gallon of diesel through it with the engine hot and run it at idle for about 45 seconds and drain all the schmoo out and let drain for a full day and then change the oil like it needs not what the manual says. Like every year at the very least.
Am I the only one who instinctively held their breath when he blue exhaust in our faces?
Thanks for talking on the phone and skipping the most important parts of getting that fricken cover off. "Just move the wiring harness" my ass.
It looks like it could use a set of lifters
My 09 jeep liberty the rpm only goes up to 2 rpm so do i really need to get the scanner like the one u got to fix my problem
Amazing diagnostics
Bingo. I knew that was it. Commented on part I about having had the same happen to my 4.7 due to overheating for about 30 seconds due to coolant loss from a cracked radiator. I drove mine all day with multiple engine stops with no issues until I got home. Popped the rocker arm back in and all has been good since. If the seats fall out, time for a head rebuild or replacement. When it happened to mine 12+ years ago, there wasn't a single mention on the internet of others having had this happen. I found one mention on a mailing list of someone buying a 4.7L truck for nothing because of "engine failure". Ended up being 2 dropped rocker arms. There are thousands of mentions of others having this issue now if you do a google search.
I've always run fully synthetic so not a bit of built-up anywhere in the engine.
watched twice loved it
Fix cod p2096 and p2098 jeep liberty 2006
Running better now write it up and send it
Exelent very helpful 👠👌
Well Bobs ur uncle lol😂
Changing oil and filter on time is just so overrated…
"sure you can go fast, but I can go anywhere," follow me to the auction
Worked it out again
They gonna ship that turkey!
This is enough to make me buy a restored vehicle from the 60's.
