  • 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)

    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.
