Starter Runs Too Long

I have a 2000 F250 SD, 5.4, 4x4.

When I start the engine after it's cold and seemingly only when it's cold outside the starter (I think) sounds like it sticks and stays engaged for 5-30 seconds after the motor starts. It sounds horrendous! I just replaced it about 6 weeks ago with a remanned unit from O'Reilly (Limited Lifetime Warranty)

Here's a link to the Youtube video I took showing the noise:

Any help on what it is or how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated!

Your video is private, so we can't watch it.

Not your starter.Sounds like the power steering pump.Just move the steering wheel and the noise should stop.That is ho I quiet mine down on a cold day start.

2x power steering pump you could try changing the fluid and see if it helps.
