We have a 2002 Venture with over 10000 miles on it that does that same rattle noise at startup...Im glad to know its normal...lol. had the same worry you have had.. Had no major worries with this van, just that simple things like alternator, thermestate are hard to get to and on our other vehical would be able to change ourselves,verses this van we need a mechanic.. had alot of issues with loose wires. sending out check engine signals and come to find out its just a loose wire, other than that its great.

The advise given above is spot on!
 
I also have a 2003 (but not seven kids). Watch the temperature gauge carefully and don't ever let the van overheat. Whenever you have it in a mechanics hands have him check to see if the intake manifold gaskets are leaking. Most do. You may wish to have them replaced with aftermarket metal gaskets when you can afford it ---- good preventive maintenance.
