Answers:
How do I fix the temperature dial in my car?
first, make sure it the lifters. caravans are OHC, or overhead cam. The injectors clicking make a similar sound. The shop guy was rightYes, the cause is usually dirty oil. Your best course of action is to get an oil change as soon as possible and the sticky lifters will stop the ticking noise.
I thought all dodge's rattled. Just kidding. If it is a lifter sticking a little marvel mystery oil will sometimes help.
engine squeal and sucking noise?
If it's not dirty oil, then the heads have to be taken off and the lifters adjusted....does anyone know of a good obd code reader for use with laptop both obd1 and obd2 thanks?

It'll go on forever but not cause any damage. it's probably smoking as well, most of those are. They are a total POS. Next time, before buying, go to Consumers Report and do some research.Hydraulic lifters... no adjustments.. absolutly always keep the oil levels up and change the oil (and filter) Now in cold weather (if yer from a cold area) they will tick for awile on cold mornings till they pump up.. (use a lighter grade oil for winters) also you could have a weak oil pump, or a worn cam.. but all of the above lead back to oil in one way or another...

serious enuf to get to an ase certified mechanic and get then tightened //let it go to long could mean valve damage or worse.. internal motor damage ..good luckI agree with the guy at the shop. Although you don't mention how many miles you have on the van. You might also try adding some ATF about 100 miles before your next oil change.
