Default 2002 3.3 Knocking!

Howdy all, just picked up a 02 Grand Caravan Sport with 141,000 on her w/new tranny.

Runs fine other then a knocking sound that comes then go's on the upper left side of motor (more-so-where pullys are). The knock is more prevelent when cold and sometimes go's away. I'm pretty sure It's NOT in the motor itself. Seems to come from the upper left rear?????

Any ideas?

it's the 3.3

Welcome to DF
My first guess would be loose torque converter bolts. Remove the inspection plate and ck all the bolts.

Water pump? My 2001 did that, I put Chemtool in the gas and it went away. Unfortunately I now have a check engine code for emissions or gas cap as I think that stuff dissolves everything in site. Use a metal funnel?
