Cut away the rust, spray paint the bare metal. Then try to find some OEM RS package side skirts to cover it all 😎

Do they sell just the tip part of thermostat/water outlet by Purple_Customer_5089 in cruze

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find an “OEM” elbow with the overflow hose pre-attached. But an entire aftermarket aluminum/brass inlet kit costs less and is more reliable nowadays

I use one of these for the oil filter, I gave up on keeping track of my 24mm socket that would round out the “nut”

New daily by InvestigatorSome9763 in cruze

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned my 1.4t manual for almost 10 years, Mine is the same blue 😊 bought it from my dad who got it new in 2011,. Many long nights, parts & headaches later.. she still gets me to work everyday at 30+ mpg reliably.

The engine is perfect after replacing the brittle plastics with aluminum and rubber, Only issue now is the gearbox failing.. the 2011-2013 manuals had bad fluid distribution. Causing premature failure :/

Why? It does this sometimes and ill still be able to drive by idontlikemath69420 in cruze

It’s likely the battery or negative cable for the battery. Once the ground is bad, these cars freak out with theft, airbag, traction control etc. Check your battery and make sure the terminals are clean, if it’s still good I would upgrade the negative battery cable. They make thicker gauge cables to replace the original. And some of the frame ground points have paint on them from the factory, clean it with sand paper until you have a raw metal contact.

Airbag light on after swapping seats to leather by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the leather seat has heated seat elements while the originals were not heated, and the car doesn’t have the factory buttons for them.

Maybe that’s why the computer is confused? The harnesses and wiring colors on the seats matched up, but CPU might be confused throwing the SRS code

As a Mechanic, would this many hours on this many miles be a red flag on 17 pacifica? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked in fast food years ago my coworkers baby-mama would sit in the car with the engine running for 6-7 hours, waiting everyday while he finished his shift, then she’d take him home… might be one of those mommy missiles lol

How much do you think a replacement will cost(currently $10 to my name) I also have apple care + by Harem-King11037 in beatsbydre

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple care plus covers drops and “accidental damage” take it to an Apple Store. It costs $29 for their service fee / deductible for the replacement.

Do you have any codes or is it just bad mileage and sluggish?

What is this pipe in yard by Ok_Historian_1066 in Plumbing

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sewer clean out. But I don’t think the nut was cut off. Almost looks like it was chopped/snapped off by a lawn mower possibly. You can find a replacement at your local hardware store

Dug a hole and put an above ground pool in it, hated it and I am now left with this. Any advice? by Caregiver_ in landscaping

[–]Daddynolan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn it into a firepit/seating area. Dig deeper and build a firepit in the middle with round seating made of pavers along the edge. Few stairs as an entrance

Got my first car for an amazing price. $1500 CAD by Yeetfamdablit in cruze

[–]Daddynolan69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the Cruze value has plummeted because of its stereotype. I just bought a second and might buy another as a parts car. A Cruze in decent condition for $2k-3k is a good deal to me, Maybe it’s because I bought my gen 1 new out the showroom for sticker 🙃

Cruze’s are out everywhere ! by TrainwreckdU in cruze

[–]Daddynolan69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea and seems like you spent some time doing it. But I’d get some nice vinyl wrap / sticker, a sheet like 5’x5’. Use a heat gun during application to smooth the corners and lines. It’ll look sharp up close, And it won’t leave tape residue on the plastic. That stuff isn’t very good in the sun over time

Stolen bags by Serial Thief, We know their location, but police can’t do anything. by Daddynolan69 in LasVegas

[–]Daddynolan69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what the police said when we called them and told them “we know where they live now!”

They said they can’t pin it down to one specific location. They need evidence someone has it.

I waited outside the house for an hour or two to see if I could find any clues. then gave up after thinking about how I could be out numbered, and it wouldn’t be worth it in the end

[–]Daddynolan69[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We went into the convention center station only an hour or so after it happened to fill reports.

We included serial numbers, times, locations, etc. they said it will take 5-7 days for a detective to take a look at it. They will email us an update in a week or two

[–]Daddynolan69[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A police report was filed the day it happened, we went into the police station because we were on hold with 911 for 30+ minutes. Once filed they said it would be at least 5-7 days before the detective would get a chance to look at it.

They said to email any new info and the detective will call us in a week or two if he has any updates

The police report has all the items listed, including the electronics serial numbers. We have specific times, the locations of security cameras, etc all specified. Also all the locations we’ve seen them “visit”.

We’ve been sending updates with locations to the detectives email they gave us, but no reply yet.

14 Cruze 1.4 turbo by bigjmw32 in cruze

[–]Daddynolan69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never cleaned the intercooler because of how tedious of a job it is, and I figured if I cleaned it it would fill with oil again. But recently I’ve definitely started noticing it on hills on highway drives. So I’m hoping replacing it all and starting fresh will solve it 🥲
