Default Starter Question

starter wen yesterday so i replaced it today with a buddy and its starts right up with no grinding BUT i do get some sound like a supercharger when i go to start it. it starts up real quick now compared to before . just wondering if the other noise is common or not, never had to replace a starter before.

This noise is common with replacement gear reduction starters. I'm not sure if the starter used in these trucks is a gear reduction type, but it probably is. As said already, so long as it does not continue after the engine starts, it is fine.
