What i thought was a belt squeal and cured,is back.Seems to be the starter.When i start the truck the starter sueals like a slipping belt for 3 or 4 seconds.It turns the engine over fine.No dragging and starts quickly.Is it possibly not disengaging soon enough????

 

Sometimes it is the bendix spring, may be in your case.

 

There's also a bronze bushing on the shaft where it spins. That might be worn out. For the price of a new/remanned starter, I would replace it rather than getting stranded in some parking lot or something.

 

Iam assumeing the squeal is in the starter,not positive.t seems to function perfectly.Guess the only way to know is replace it and see.Thanks for the replys.

 

If everything is running right just makes that sound, its sounds like its a bearing on one of your pully's. take your belt off and use your hand and spin each pully and listen for the sound.

 

if you have a 3.0, it could be the dreaded cam synchro
