Im leaning toward the rear side valve train. I have heard this same tapping on so many Dodge and Chrysler minicabs over the years, I just thought it was from lack of oil changing. I change my oil every 3 to 5k. I have now 104,200 miles on it. What is a good oil to use? Something for the high mirage?

I'll try to find the post and post it.
