Hello all. I have noticed that when I start my truck when it is cold it cranks fine but makes a buzzing/wheezing noise before turning over; it seems to be coming from the starter. I just changed the battery, cleaned the posts, changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. When the truck is warm, it starts fine. The truck has 150K, so I am guessing the starter might be going bad. Anyone have ideas on what do? Has anyone experienced this same problem? Thanks for your reply.

 

starter man, same thing to mine, took it apart and i rebuilded it . bought the rebild kit on ebay for 30 bucks, instead of buying a new one for 350. put it in started awesome. no problems now , but yeah it is your starter.

 

I wouldnt mess with rebuilding the starter that you have... You can get a rebuilt one at oreily's for like 30 provided you give them the old one back
I did that on mine about 5 years ago and havent had problems out of it yet

 

it was a pain in the azz yes but saved decent money , the guy i bought the rebuild from sent new thicker metal and a plumber, should be good to go. oh and the top bolt is a pita to get off

 

Guys, thanks for the info. Changed the starter, not a big deal. Sprayed some lube on the bolts, let them soak for a bit, and used breaker bar. Bolts came off easy. So far no more noise, which is good.
