Awful starter grind!
My rig - 2004 4x4 XLT Screw.
You know the sound a starter makes on a vehicle if you try to start it when it's already running? My truck has done that twice in a month - but it makes the noise when the truck ISN'T already running.
Anyone else?

That place where you put the key....LOL
..... When mine was acting up when I turned the key it would stick forward a little bit instead of dropping back into place causing the starter to grind. Good luck
