After struggling with a rattling noise in the cruiser and reading everything I can get my hands on/checking everything I can think of, I reasd this
Couple things to consider. First, many engines (especially toyotas) have a rattle when excellerating or going up a hill when the engine is working. This can be eliminated by using a higher octane fuel but is not really necessary as this rattle doesnt mean anything bad. Running a higher octane through the engine every once in a while is not a bad idea though. Second, check your engine mounts, sometimes if a bolt is loose or missing it will make the engine rattle and the reason it only does this at a certain rpm is because that rpm makes a certain vibration that causes the engine to rattle but other rpms dont create this vibration or frequency. Hope that helps.
I'm wanting to know if this rings true with others?
I don't think my problem is attributed to this because it seems a bit too intermittent and loud sometimes when I'm not even travelling uphill even slightly.
Just checking if it rings true.
