Broke down and got a transmission flush for my 16 Cruze Limited at my dealership, cause it's just not feasible to do that at my house. Got sticker shock pricing a side mirror glass for my son's Cruze Limited.

I paid about $40 for a heated glass for my 2nd Gen last summer.
Now that it's out of production, it's a $51 glass.
If it wasn't heated, I could have bought aftermarket from Rock Auto for about $5.
I hate to think what it would have cost with Driver Assist.

Car has driver assist. I've been looking for a while, none of the usual suspects carries the glass with that feature. If I want just the glass, dealer quoted me $115. With the whole assembly, $136. ��

Changed the oil and sized up where I'm going to have to hoist the motor to change the serpentine belt in a month or so.

Changed out the mirror switch that I broke when changing the window regulator last week. 😐🙄😜

A win and a loss today.
Good news, installed XtremeRevolution ‘s intake manifold modification today. Turned the CEL off. Two thumbs up, highly recommended. Videos were awesome help.
Bad news, leaning against the coolant reservoir hose to deal with the manifold, my dad cracked the end of the hose from the coolant reservoir. My Cruze “marked its path” as I did a test drive to check the manifold fix. Win some, lose some.

Eh, you know that's a cheap part that goes bad often. Cheap insurance to replace it actually. Dorman makes a better one with a metal insert as well.

Yeah, I’m okay with the loss. The problem is no auto parts place has the connector locally. Gotta be patient and wait for my post lady Monday.

Installed the new window regulator to fix the one that broke during my intake manifold adventures. I’ve gotten this job down to an hour (had waaaay too many opportunities to practice). Beat the rain by 5 minutes. 😉

Installed a new valve cover today. Was getting an intermittent P0171 CEL code. Hopefully, this solves that. Didn’t break anything else upon testing, I think. 😉

Y’all keep all that frozen tundra stuff up north where it belongs. 75 and raining around New Orleans. 😉
