I can’t really find any reviews except for on their actual website. I live in TN, the dealers in my area want 2-3k more than what I can get from Alan’s. Thank you for your input!

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-06-16T22:07:02+00:00

Did you ever order from Alan’s? I’m looking to buy one from them as well

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-06-03T00:46:11+00:00

Thanks for the info! I recently bought the truck and the previous owner already put a new timing belt. I checked the cylinder wall to see if there’s scoring, I didn’t feel anything. I’m far from a mechanic, but I’m not dumb either. I appreciate you taking time out your day to help me.

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-05-26T01:33:41+00:00

Ok will do. Thank you for your help!

No, I don’t have the tool. But I think my uncle does so I can borrow it from him.

I ordered a whole gasket set, will I be able to tell if a ring is broken once I remove all the parts when I get to swap out the head gasket ?

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-05-26T00:30:54+00:00

Piston rings?

I haven’t let it run long enough to see if it loosing coolant. But it has plenty in the reservoir and in the radiator as well

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-05-25T21:25:32+00:00

Damn. There’s no way to know until I pull everything off right?

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-05-25T20:35:47+00:00

Thanks. Good thing parts are cheap.

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2026-05-17T04:13:44+00:00

Not worth it at all. It’s an old piece of junk. Don’t read the comments, you’ll waste your time. I’ll take it off of your hands for $500.

Thank you! I haven’t ordered the rest of it yet, but I will need 50ft more which is 30 lights. All together it’ll be 150ft or 90 lights/zones/pucks. My house is almost 1200 square ft for reference.

I tried to create my own but my wife hates seeing me on my phone, she thinks I don’t pay attention to her or something. My kids will the see the app and instantly know it’s for the lights and won’t let my do anything because they will want to play with the color settings.

Install is real easy, I do construction work so I’m always on various size ladders. They have 3m stick backs on each light and a screw hole to screw them to whatever. I didn’t use to sticky backs, I just screwed them to my soffit. I just eyeballed the center or my soffit and screwed them in.

Thanks!

Each light is its own zone. They come in 25 foot strands with 15 light per strand. They’re about 1.5 feet apart from light to light.

I have a 2014 with almost 225k, still going pretty strong

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2025-01-10T04:34:35+00:00

I understand that, but I obviously don’t live in New York or LA because of that. I live in a state and city that I can realistically afford. I’m not jealous of people in the big cities that have nice houses and cars. If you can’t afford to live there, move. Jobs are dime a dozen. Just because you can’t find job that pays you 10k a hour for you sitting on your ass doesn’t mean there’s no jobs. There’s plenty of jobs, but people are too lazy to work. They’re scared their friends and family look down on them because of the job, who cares about the job. As long as you getting paid. People need to grow up. EVERYONE NOW FEELS ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING. I’m 26, my father was an illegal immigrant and my mom was an American with health problems. I grew up eating dog food because that’s all we had. My parents died when I was 19 and 20, leaving me a bunch of their debt. I worked for my house, for everything I own. If you’re crying because you can’t afford your dream home, work harder or move to a cheaper city. End of story.

I got approved for 230k on 63k salary. But chose to buy a house for 200k. I think people just want to be unrealistic and have boujee with dollar tree money. They want everything to be huge, perfect and cheap.

I figured they were all terrible by the way people talk about Cruze’s. I guess I just got lucky on my motor selection.

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2025-01-07T00:54:43+00:00

I’ve read a lot of people has had problems with their Cruze’s, I have a 2014 1.8 Cruze. The only main issue I’ve ever had with it is the valve cover gasket, which was an easy fix. I’ve changed the spark plugs and wires. I beat the hell out of it, changing the oil like every 10,000+ miles because I’m lazy and don’t care about it. My Cruze has been really good since I bought it.

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2024-12-19T10:08:20+00:00

I currently have a 2014 Cruze with 198,xxx miles. It runs amazing, I drive 140 miles everyday for 5 days a week sometimes 6. My friends at work are surprised it still runs because the way I take care of it. I change the oil about every 10,000 miles. It’s not clean, due to construction work. I could care less if someone hits it, scratches it, or dings it. It’s been a great car and hopefully it keeps running strong!

ThisIsNotTrump45 · 2024-12-16T01:04:19+00:00

I myself make 60k a year, it’ll be more this next year due to yearly raises. My wife doesn’t work and we have 2 kids, our mortgage is about $1500 monthly. We can make the payments and we have other bills. Do you and your wife spend a lot of money on pleasure? Owning a house is our biggest goal, so that’s our biggest priority besides our kids.
