could be...but with cold weather, the fluid can thicken a bit, as it warms up, and thins out it will have better flow.....like stated with the drainvalve, its the fluid to thick and not getting to TC....its hard to say, im just throwing out my ideas.


And no the starter can be removed within 5-7 minutes, pretty easy.

 

Well keep throwing the ideas I'm out of 'em I let the truck run thin morning for about 15 minutes and it still made the noise but I used my remote start s it wasn't in neutral
I'm going to attempt to pull the front plate this weekend Im off for two days. I'll keep you informed and again thank for your ideas ALL

 

My truck has the same noise. It is a terrible noise. It makes the noise in reverse, and when the engine is revved in park. I have yet to figure it out.
