Well, Mr. Bill is home, but I don’t know how long it will last.
It seems the rebuilt starter has a “problem” that may or may not rectify itself in time, or that this “new” starter will have to be replaced. Which irritates me because of the labor costs. Exchanging one starter for another that has already been paid for is no biggie.
Once the engine has started, there seems to be a high-pitched screech which, although it doesn’t last longer than a few seconds, is still rather disconcerting. Why they didn’t tell me about it before I got the truck is beyond me.
Once the engine is warmed up after driving a few miles, shut off and started again, the sound goes away, but I’m left with an extremely high-pitched whine, such as turbos in a SciFi movie. Which also doesn’t last long!
So it’s pretty much an “ungh” day for me. If you can believe that...

Don't know what the screech is, but one of the things about installing a starter is that sometimes they have to be "shimmed". That is, the plane of the starter's gear rotations has to be outside the plane of the engine's flywheel rotations.
Starters are only supposed to engage the teeth of the flywheel when starting the engine. If they fail to engage properly, or disengage properly, you can get ... inappropriate ... noises.
By the way, I'm back from the wilds of Pennsylvania. Mr. Penn's woods didn't have enough leaves on them.

Busdaddy listened to it and he thought it might be something to do with the flywheel, as well, but evidently had never heard that sound before, so his response wasn’t nearly as knowledgeable as yours.
So. At this point, do I take it back where I got it and have them install a new one while I wait? I can’t see me paying my mechanic twice for the same job. He’s too much of a keeper to cause any dissention!

"At this point, do I take it back where I got it and have them install a new one while I wait?" I'd suggest a phone call. Tell them you suspect the starter is not pulling away properly after releasing, and ask if there's any way they can rectify it.
A skilled mechanic, with some luck available, might be able to shim the starter to eliminate the noise.
Worst case, another starter. Somebody needs to cover the labor.

I have to go back in the morning to get the core charge refund, and thought I could have them listen to the starter then.
The rest of it will depend on how they feel about senior citizens, great-grandmothers and disabled individuals. If the response to any of the above is negative, I will email the company, follow up with a phone call and if necessary, write a letter. My last resort will be calling a local TV station for “intervention.”
I am not without “Plans A thru Z,” but I hate to use any of the ones beyond “A” if I don’t need to. I prefer to have them “suggest” a solution, and if it doesn’t agree with what I know so far, then I will do what I need to do.
I was a military wife for 30 years, a military mom and widow for another 20, and that brings me close to today. I can’t “do everything,” but I’m not dependent on someone else to do what needs to be done. Most of all, I know where to go for the information I need.
