My 97 Sport with 4.0 and 32RH just started making this noise. I just drove home after about a 15 minute drive to Lowes and back and while it was idling in the driveway this noise started. Any thoughts? It does get worse/ louder when increasing RPM's. Prior to this it has been running perfect engine and transmission wise. Thanks in advance
What's going on with this noise?

What's the oil level? I never heard of this issue on the 4.0 but my 2.5 has blown two piston skirts and it created a knocking or tapping noise kind of like what the video sounded like. If you can't locate the sound I would suggest draining the oil and using a filter for the first quart to see if any metal comes out. For how fast the noise is being made it sounds like a piston.
