I recently was doing body work on my Caddy and let the battery drain on accident. I was jumping it when it sounded as like it was going to turn over when it made a crunch/grind noise. I bought a new battery and now it just makes a metal to metal grinding noise when I try to start.... Starter fried? PLEASE HELP!

 

look for lose starter bolts or bad starter.

 

Make sure when u remove a starter, u CHECK FLYWHEEL TEETH FOR DAMAGE

 

dose it mount with 2 bolts from the botom up?
if it dose it may require shims between the starter and the ENG.
