So i was driving around yesterday for work and everything was fine, absolutly nothing weird about it.. go out this morning and turn the key and all i here is a click and then a hum.. if you hold the key, which i old did once the hum gets louder. it almost sounds as if the starter is binded up on something. Things i tried already.. battery good even tried to use a jump box as a last ditch effort. tried to knock on the starter a little couldnt really get to it, man its a bit of a rough spot. but the car is an 06 and i didnt think a starter would go that fast.. any help in this area would be apprecitated because the last thing i want to do is bring it to the dealer.. Thanks, Jim

 

did you try push starting it? if it starts with a push, then your starter is bad.

 

i push started it and when it actually started something sounded like it was rubbing and then the car started to smoke from the back driver side of the engine bay.. not sure what it was so i turned it off and didnt try to start it again.. did anyone ever have this happen before?? oh by the way i just got the car back from the dealer they just replaced front and rear diff t case and trans.. and now this.. go figure..

 

With everything "they just replaced", they could have forgotten to tighten something down or messed something else up....take it back and have them check it out...my suggestion.
