My 97 3500 CTD 4x4 has an intermentant noise at start up. It seems to be<br>coming from underneath the truck and sounds like some sort of grinding. It<br>lasts for about 5-6 seconds then goes away. It does not do it all the time.<br>As a matter of fact it has only done it 3 times in the last 2 weeks. It is<br>an automatic. Other than that noise I have no other problems.<br><br>Any ideas on what it might be??<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br>Glen<br>

 

Starter drive may not be disengageing right.<br>I've seen them hang up on tractors before.<br>You can take starter off and lube the starter shaft ( lightly ) with grease or spray with WD-40 ect<br><br> : Eddie : 8)

 

Check your auto fluid?

 

Most likely .... your starter contacts need replacing ...
