Dodge Van Makes a Clattering Noise

RE: Dodge Van Makes a Clattering Noise Post By lilredex lilredex (Guest Post) (10/18/2007) Assume your are talking about the "B" series (rear wheel drive) with a V-6 or V-8?? If so, it probably a stuck hydraulic lifter that "clacks" like an old sewing machine. The solution is to keep the oil clean and change it regularly. To help it along, you can add a product such as RISLONE, CD-2, or Wynn's to free up sticking lifters. Don't need a lot, about 1/2 of the CD-2 can size will do. An old trick, which is frowned upon by many, is add a cupful or so of ATF to do that job. My Dodge B's all run on propane and the oil does get gooey even though still clean. I use RISLONE and change the oil every 5K KM (3K Mi) RE: Dodge Van Makes a Clattering Noise Post By Jeannie (Guest Post) (02/06/2007) I grew up in Jackson although I'm a long way from there now. *s* This might sound silly but how is the oil level? Do you know any backyard mechanics? It could be your rockers are loose or a rod for that matter. Some times if you go to an auto parts store and ask the guys there they can giveyou good advice as well as names of local mechanics that provide good service for a fair price! Good Luck!
