Loud Grinding Noise From Engine | Diesel Place
To rule out the tranny, Drop the bell housing cover and remove the torque converter to fly wheel/flexplate bolts. push the TC to the rear,and you should be able to spin the torque converter easely by hand,without any noises.If that pans out OK, then try starting the engine to see if the slow start and/or grinding persists.
