Dubie Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 New to the forum. Replaced the starter in 2010 Journey and started fine, ran smooth. After 5-10 minutes it began to have a tinny rattle in starter area. Can’t determine what that would be. Any help would be appreciated.

John/Horace Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Welcome to forum. Which engine, 2.4 or 3.6 , milage ? Did you use a torque wrench on all fasteners? Some starters have a sheet metal heat cover held with small 10 mm nuts, if they aren’t tight could cause rattle. If exhaust was removed during job, it could cause a rattle. Starter meshes with flex plate mounted to torque converter. It’s held with grub screws, if they come loose can create a rattle. Like laryl mentioned, crack can do that as well. Pretty rare thing to happen. Heat shield pic for 3.6. Edited January 26, 2022 by John/Horace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
