I've seen some other threads that kind of relate to this problem, but was wondering if anyone knows what it might be. The vehicle is a 1997 T&C LXi 3.8L V6 with 88,000 miles that has developed a jingle-like sound under the hood when idling. The van has had zero problems in its 10 year life and the sound coming from under the hood is just more of an annoyance... It hasn't affected the driveability or functionality. I've tried to just ignore it, but can't any longer. I've listened to numerous other Caravans and T&C's in the community from model years 96 thru 2005 and here the same jingling sound in most of them as well. I also remember reading a thread not to long ago from a gentleman who said it was normal for these vans. The "jingle" seems to appear when there is a load placed on the engine ie... turning A/C on, putting it in gear etc. The sound is not A/C specific... With the van idling in park and no A/C, you can barely here the sound... Put it in gear and/or turn A/C on and the "jingle" comes alive. Visual inspection of the pulley system checks out OK and the serpentine belt is fairly new (Goodyear Gatorback) with prpoer tension. I think the gentleman in the tread I mentioned above said it had something to do with worn bearings, but I can't remember what parts he was talking about and I can't seem to find that thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
