What transmission/engine?

First problem, I'm betting 4.7 with the 545RFE. Check BOTH filters. It is likely they aren't seated properly - it's a common problem. You lose pressure internally so no visible leaks. Only use OEM.

Second problem, is it the starter grinding?

I'll move this to the 3rd gen forum.
