Subject:Rattle at High RPM
From:Leif Paulsen

Things have warmed up here in Utah such that I was driving yesterday
with my windows down for the first time in a while and I noticed Rattle
at high RPM.  You can't hear it with the windows up.  It sounded like a
Heat Shield loose, sort of a tin sounding Rattle.  I peered under and
could seem to locate anything loose.  The next step is having a buddy
look into the engine bay while driving (try doin' that on yer Astrovan)
to see if I can locate the source.   It doesn't sound like a
Transmission thing,  but just a loose something or other, That happens
to vibrate at the high RPM.  Thanks for any input.
