"Subject: DML: Jingle noises on 1990 dakota

When driving my '90 Dakota, I hear a ringing noise, almost like bells.
I
really have no idea what is is, but a guess might be the speedometer
cable.
I'm in the dark, so can anyone with information on this occurance offer
me
some assistance? I'd be very greatful.

Thank you,
Dusty "

-If the noise sounds like it's coming from outside of the passenger
compartment, then go and lower the tailgate and take it for a spin. The
tailgate latches will sometimes not fully engage and the result is a
jingling noise. If this is the culprit, try slamming the tailgate
closed from one end, go drive it, and if the noise is there still, go
and slam it from the other side. The side that doesnt catch all the
way should catch when you slam it from that side from the extra force.
