Default Starting.

Okay, so for a while now, sometimes when i am turning the key, my truck will turn over but the it will cut out and it is like there is an animal or something in my fan. lol When it does this it is pretty agressive and it makes the truck rock. It will also blow blue smoke when it does this too, But it does that every once and a while anyway. lol Answers? I was thinking a bad starter.

Pull the starter, inspect the teeth. Have a look at the gear it engages too.... prolly time for a new starter though.
