So i replaced my starter today since the solenoid on the one that was in it was coming off of the housing (still started but made a rattle and was noticeably separating) it was a reman from orielly made by autolite so i figured i'd just get it warrantied and call it a day.
Well now here i am after going through one replacement that didn't kick out to engage, and a second one thats installed now that i think is whining. I recorded the sound basically it starts to whine as soon as the engine starts and keeps whining until you turn the engine off. There were no shims on the one i took off, nor where there any that came in the new starter box so i assume i would need shims.
Does this noise sound like the starter still engaged to you? I eliminated the accessory belts\pulleys by removing the belts and the noise is still there. I can't pinpoint it with a stethoscope though, when it up against the starter i cant hear the whirring any louder then it already is.
I need to get this thing sorted out cause its my daily any help is appreciated
