5:56 okay, this is weird. Jay heard me say "bless you", all the way from Jacksonville fl. 🙏

Good one Jay I have always liked that model Cruze nice looking cars . I see your fast approaching your one hundred thousand subscribers congratulations. 👍

Hell yea fill it if you can, the road trips are always the best ones, save travels hope y’all are well and good.

Honestly the Cruze isn't a bad car actually. My family owned one it was a 2016 with the turbo motor and it never had an issue. Kept it for 55,000 miles and upgraded to something bigger. Otherwise no problems at all. Great video Jay you always got some good stuff!👍

Good job young man!!! Yes more videos please lol!!!

Of course you'll make it Jay . Ive haven't seen one of those cars with rocker panels and rear wheel openings a while . Of course I'm in the north east rust bucket state.

Very nice work, and the Cruze looks great! I rented one on a job interview trip and was very impressed with the ride and acceleration it had. Definitely not a bad car, especially for 1,000 dollars these days!

IDK HOW IT WAS $1000!! HOW MANY MILES DID IT HAVE?? Also, what year is she exactly.... Looks ALOT like my 2016 under the hood. I have to do a timing belt on mine, also overdue so I appreciate the video!! Thanks!!

I'm sure that little Cruz will make the trip there and back

I had a 2012 LS 1.8 6 speed manual. Very comfortable on road trips. Drove from Atlanta to NYC and back. Traded it a 34k miles for a 2014 Malibu LS

So glad to hear that! Lots of things sound worse than they truly are, and with the tools they make to lock everything in place it makes the job a breeze. Glad you got yours taken care of!

My 2015 Chevy has been making a clicking noise when the engine is revving. But sometimes it will stop making the noise for a few days. Would this be the timing belt?

Does anyone know why the ticking sounds happens ? I’ve never done a timing belt change but I see this car still makes the noise after as well

2:52 Did you pre-loosen those engine mount bolts? Suckers came off fairly quickly.

You’re brave Jay. I wouldn’t trust a cruze to go to the store.

Have fun on your trip to Illinois! To be honest with you, I think you guys would be making a big mistake and getting rid of the cruz. Those eco-tech engines are quite noisy, but I’ve heard they last forever.

If you're doing this job at home there is no need to buy timing tools if all youre doing is changing the belt. Mark the camshaft actuators and old timing belt with paint markers prior to removal. Transfer paint marks to new belt and youll be perfectly in time. No need to remove the camshaft cover either 👍

People aren't that bright. One of my professional mechanic buddies who does the trade today I've known since I was in high school (he's in 60's now) when I started at the shop, he agrees the Cruze is a good car and easy to work on, he owned one. My Cruze has been max boosted tuned for 110k miles running water/methanol every day, been beat on and raced, did the valve cover and intake at 100k for $100 in parts an an hour of my time, did the turbo too last spring, it's so cheap $250 and it was abused pushing 22 psi until it couldn't, lasted a lot of miles. Again, the context is extreme punishment, I literally bought a used engine for it when I got the car expecting to blow it because I expected to push it to the edge. It has not blown, not enough turbo to hurt itself unless you detonate it however that is easily preventable. I did a clutch in the summer, stock clutch never slipped it held the torque so I stuck with the GM performance version this time. The clutch didn't fail; I did it for maintenance purposes because that is what I do with machines in my care. The stock M32 gearbox has also survived all the torture, however I used RP synchromax every 30k miles. Otherwise everything else works, all the electronics, buttons, windows, and I do spray the underbody and suspension with fluid film because I'm in Michigan and have a 4" strip of bed liner rolled on the bottoms of the rockers, with that the car is rust free after 10 years, from Michigan driving in salty roads it's incredible. For the bottom cheapest car from GM, the paint is okay however it's pretty thin would be my complaint, so rock chips on the hood come easier. I'm not a pig but not perfect, I shampooed the seats a few months ago the interior looks brand new, nothing falling apart, no glue releasing, not cracking or peeling of interior bits. The Cruze control buttons are worn out, expect after 100k+ miles. The 1st gen Cruze is garbage apparently, even though here in Detroit I see 4-10 of them every day commuting to work. I pay attention because I own this car so it's in my mind to see them. There are so many in the U pull parts junkyards as well, I was there last week pulling underbody aero panels of an Eco model. Also, car-part.com, in Detroit there are hundreds of them listed with parts. I just bought a used M32 gearbox for $300 including core 100k miles on it, I picked it up last wednesday.

Also you have to remember the delay in the acceleration BC IT'S COMPUTERIZED.
