Had this same problem. Changed 3 different starters. They all would grab then start grinding. Ended up changing the flex plate and problem solved.

Also try a 0.20 shim see if noise and problem goes away unless you have a hole in the back flex plate cover to measure the gap between the starter and the flex plate

You might wanna double check what starter that is. There are 2 different flex plate/starter possibilities here. There are 153 tooth and 168 tooth flex plates and they have to use the corresponding starter.
