Have had a rattle since day one. Finally found it, not that I’ve looked. The hood release seems to rattle. There’s a plasticish cover over the medal wire that rattles when going over bumps or when tapped. When I apply a little pressure to the release it stops. Anyone else have this problem? I’m going to take it to the dealer to fix..

Yep. Zip tied mine to a brace under there, helped a lot. Drove me crazy too.

Probably because it is plastic.

Maybe take it off and dip it in Flex Seal or Plasti Dip to add some cushion?

  PCM? These don't have a "PCM". Powertrain Control Module. They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Do you mean update the radio?

- 6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

  Engine failure requires radiator replacement per GM if it contains an engine oil cooler. They do NOT want them flushed. Radiator replacement is also required for the 6.2 recall if the engine fails. Here is the TSB the dealer is referring to - 22-NA-074 1..2 Its a slightly older version, but the current version of it covers all model years 2000-2026. So if enough failure debris was present, it gets an oil cooler. If that is part of the radiator, it gets a radiator. Also, same for oil cooler lines. Those get replaced. Now something like a 2.7 Turbo which uses an oil to water heat exchanger for the oil cooler, the radiator would be left alone but the oil cooler would be replaced, as well as any lines.

  Doing the right thing, replacing both valves is the way to go. The valves with the ball leak far more often than the schrader. Never cared for them. The accumulator really should be replaced if the system has had no pressure in it and it was a keeper, but since you're looking to sell it, bet you can get by. Did you pull the orifice screen and see what was there? Shame you can't get 134a. Hopefully the previous repairs included dye. Some of the R4s I messed with developed leaks where the line sets connected or the front seal. Had one where the HPCO was leaking. Front seal would only leak under pressure. See any obvious oily spots? I've got nitrogen I use to test pressure and to help dry the system prior to evacuation. Keep up the good work
