Message:
I own a 99 Dakota with a 3.9v6. Everytime I start the car up and it sits there, there is a very loud rattling noice that sounds like a fan that is being "clunked" with rocks or something. Does anyone have a clue on what it may be. After a while of driving, it will go away, but if you stop, it will "clunk" again. Thanks for any help if you can give me any.

well i dropped my truck off this morning. i told them the cat is bad and i need a new one. he said he would check it out and call me. 1 1/2 hours latter he called me and said it does need a new one and it is covered under the federal warrenty, so im not out a penny. =)
only bad thing is they wont get the part in untill tommorow at 11:00 and the truck will not be done untill 2:00pm oh well, it beats paying for it.
