knocks on startup
I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3 litre engine. Lately I have noticed
there seems to be a bit of a knocking sound on start up.......usually morning startup. I have about 124,000 kilometres (Canadian) on the engine. Should I put some kind of engine additive in with the next oil change and, if so, any recommendations???Thanks thanks, Dodger |

stop that noise. On cold days it was worst and lasted long. "dodger" > wrote in message oups.com... >I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3 litre engine.
