Grinding noise when starting?

[HannaS10]

When I started my truck there was this loud grinding noise, and it took longer for my truck to start. I put in a Yellow Top a couple weeks ago and this is the first time it has happened. What could be causing this? Maybe just the cold weather (about 20 degrees)?

Starter sounds worn out.

[HannaS10]

It did it agian this morning. Took two tries to start.

Well I went to my mechanic and its the starter.:crap: Its gonna be about $160 total with labor.:furious:

Buy the starter and do it yourself. All that holds it in are 2 bolts and a wire. Takes about 20 minutes on most cars, unless you like paying a mechanic $300/hr.

[audiobahnuser18]

go find one online or a junk yard might be able to find a still good starter do the work yourself not worth paying someone to do it .

Ok, you don't live where I live. didn't you originally say the entire job was going to be $160? Now you're saying $100 parts/$45 labor. Is that new math?

Anyway, if you have money to give away feel free, it's your business.
