Truck suddenly making horrible starter grinding noise? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Leaving my friend's house late tonight, after watching the Jets vs Giants game, go to start my truck and it developed a horrible high pitched grinding noise when I start it. I know the starter has shims, but these were installed a year ago with great operation. 87 silverado 305

I haven't pulled it apart yet, it's very late and I have work tomarrow morning. Should I be safe driving to work? Is this a symptom of a starter just getting old? This sound just developed randomly. I did get under the truck when I parked it to make sure the starter wasn't loose, it is tight.
