What did you do TO your Cruze today?

Blasirl said:

Last snow fall my wipers must have been inadvertently turned on with a windshield full of heavy snow. Fast forward to yesterdays rain and the wipers decided to stop vertically instead of horizontally. So, for the fourth time, I removed the cowl and wiper blades to see what the heck was going on. I found the nut for the actuator arm in the wiper transmission was 180 degrees off. So, after trying to find a an angled 12mm, I ended up using pliers to get it loose enough to reverse it. Then it was easy to get a wrench on it.

Yepper I did. That is why it only took me a few minutes to figure out what was wrong and rectify it.

This is an add on to my other window post...

After receiving a notice that the window I was waiting on for two weeks, was broken at the fedex facility....wait for it... this is after I had taken out the broken window to prep for the glass that was supposed to be delivered later that day. We are heading to the track this weekend with a two hour drive, didn't want to drive the whole way there and back with an open window. made a window out of plexiglas.... used the tint off of the broken window... it fit perfectly... even put it in the clips on it to the window regulator.. surprise.. surprise It works up and down just like the real window. you can see it flex when you slam another door though..lol

oil change and checked trans level

cooler lines have been sweating for years, fluid level is always good though

A question, I had dots of I thought antifreeze on my transmission cooler lines… from when I worked on the oil cooler. was that actually tranny fluid? Explain sweating please.

sweating is leaking, but not dripping....the whole hose is wet, the whole frame rail is wet, but never a drip on the ground, and never changes fluid level

like the start of a leak

today was first day i actually cleaned the area a bit, i dunno where its leaking, gotta figure that out

yep those transcooler lines are infamous for leaking mine literally were rusting order them now while you still have time. they are not that hard to do. depending on how long they have been leaking after you fix it and fill the car to the correct level you will be suprised at how well it shifts all of a sudden.lol

In my project thread...

They're JL audio C1-650 2 way component set. Was originally going to use a herts uno k165 passive 2 way component set as it has a interior matching grey cone but got these , jls, for the same price due to no stock and are much better quality. So the Hertz will be going in the rear doors eventually.

2014 diesel finally did the delete on it. Should have done it along time ago. Can't believe how well it runs..........
