starter whine

my 99 cherokee starter makes a brief whining sound after each successful engine start. noise lasts for a couple of seconds.

is it starting to fail?

you might be engaging it for too long or the freerun clutch on the gear might be on its way out leaving it semi-engaged then letting go...
