Grinding when starting

[Dustin1330]

Every once in a while, when starting my truck, 2016/1500, it has a grinding noise. It’s almost like when you try to start a car that’s already started. Any idea of what it could be? As soon as I figure out how to post a video, I will!

Sounds like starter pinon gear not dis-engaging. Don't be surprised if U have to put in a new starter, IMHO..............

Check the battery and the battery cables (voltage drop)? Possible low voltage causing a half engagement. In any case in is always a good idea to check the battery and cables first. Let us know what you find.

I usually grind once I am already started......

Is the starter staying engaged after starting or not engaging while trying to start? Hope the starter hasn't gone out on a 2016. Is it still under warranty?

Here is that video...finally.
