This 2003 Jeep Liberty was a break down and drove in during a normal busy work day. Customer complaint was simply , overheating. I looked at it verified the problem and confirmed the fix. Enjoy!

    I had a 02 Liberty the reservoir leaked I junk the whole car I was younger and I didn't know there was a such thing called J-B Weld ๐Ÿ˜ก

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R lowle says:

    So doesn't the customer know how to work a wrench? That was a pretty easy swap.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R lowle says:

    How come no chart showing the belt path?? Mine has one.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doondar Wood says:

    Hell yea… Had the same exact symptoms in my 2010 jeep liberty. Fixed! Thanks man!

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Everyday Pikachu Hat Fisherman says:

    Do you have a video on best way to fix the catalytic converters on Jeep Liberty? Mines an 05

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Everyday Pikachu Hat Fisherman says:

    Bro thank you!! My Liberty is doing this!!! Atleast now I can fix it

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Miner says:

    I had a Liberty and I put a FlowCooler water pump in it. That impeller is aluminum.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Mazzarella says:

    At first look thought your hat had hi temp silicone on it.. that crap gets everywhere!!!

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MICHAEL DUKE says:

    I think i'd replace the fiberglass impeller with a tougher pump. Maybe not go off-road…

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Juergen Bertram says:

    Another job well diagnosed and done in the minimum of time !
    Customer ought to appreciate such intense work ethic, and be very grateful to have his vehicle back so soon !!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Dietrich says:

    Iโ€™m a Mopar guy. I believe those bolts should be 40lbs and there are plenty of aftermarket pumps with a metal impeller.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Sechrist says:

    Those are some cheap made water pumps. Good call Eric.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rocadezona85 says:

    I saw nothing but the title of the video. Immediately thought " water pump"…I guessed correctly. I own a 2004 Dodge Dakota, which is mechanically identical. Actually many of the parts I got for my truck out of junkyards, I got out of jeep liberty.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mrs. Onyango says:

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Farris says:

    I watched it all the way to the end! Caught the outro!

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jakeyyy Jakeyy says:

    I bet this jeep dropped a valve seat by now. Should do head work on 3.7 if it overheats๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars remo williams says:

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars alan thames says:

    Like your work. What torque wrench are you using?

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Blackie Chong says:

    Understand one thing a waterpump does not pump water on a car it just moves the water thru the system

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Al Montgomery says:

    I watched one of your videos on a Ford Escape motor you have a habit of playing with people's personal stuff in their vehicle not very professional

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dave evans says:

    A plastic impeller on a cars cooling system are words that should not be together. Car makers whou do these cheap builds should not be in business

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William White says:

    That owner is lucky the valve seats didn't fall out when it overheated.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Wood says:

    Should have rang the pulley bell when the brake cleaner came out??,

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Buglioli says:

    Why don't rattlesnakes bite lawyers, politicians, or most doctors? Professional courtesy!

    Warm, warm, warmer warmer, ohh hot hot hot

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    That was absolutely awesome good job

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Hamilton says:

    Eric, I have a question. Have you ever worked on a 4.2 inline 6 engine with almost all of the head bolts broken? I bought a Trailblaze that way. I looked it up, this is a common problem. I found out GM make a kit to remove them, left-handed drill. Self centering punch and thread chaser. Just wondered if you have done one before and know any tricks? I love your videos. Informs this old man a lot. Been a mechanic since 1969!!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Rackley says:

    Great video Mr owe loved every minute of it .

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Greene says:

    Dear manufacturers,

    Stop using plastic on everything. Namely critical parts.

    Thank you,
    Consumers

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Greene says:

    He is so different on these early videos as compared to his more funny demeanor as his videos progressed LOL

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paublus Americanus AMERICANUS says:

    Lawyer watches over shoulder Eric persuades Jeep to deliver fastest fix I have ever seen. Yah ya'll kin stand by cause it be done in 5 minutes and would have taken lawyer about one full day and then done funny.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:
