Starter sound. So this truck has been on this starter for 7-10 years and it sounds really bad. Metal on metal starting screeching etc. it has sound like this for years and I acquired the truck 3 years ago from dad and now the sound is getting worst. What would cause a loud starting on this truck.

Usually it has something to do with the starter and the backing plate. Make sure the bolts are tight and the plate isn't damaged.
