Hi everyone. I have this noise that I'm having a hard time diagnosing. It like a squeaky noise that happens sometimes when I first start the truck buy not all the time but it will happen when I'm drive the truck around. I've gotten under the truck when it happen ls when I start it and it sounds like it's coming from the starter but would the starter still do that well your driving around?

Next time it happens spray the fan belts with water out of a spray bottle. If that stops it,it's a belt or engine accessory.

Update. Pulled the starter and it smelled all burnt up, opened it and it didn't look good in there, after what I saw I don't know how it was even still working.
