Didn't drive my truck yesterday or earlier today and when i started it there was a loud grinding sound. a similar sound also happened twice with 2 minutes of startup. once the truck warmed up everything sounded better. could this simply be due to the cold? its been sitting at -23 degrees celsius through the day here

No it contracts with the cold, and expands with heat. And Idk. Was it when you tried to start it or right after it started?
