Had that same symptom on my 9K

It would do this at every start for days, then not do it for a month or more. And every so often the starter would not engage at all. Turn off, then try again and it would start either with or without the momentary grind. The grinding was not a heavy-duty noise--just like the starter gear wasn't fully disengaging from the flywheel. I guess the spring just wasn't always doing its job. It was on the list to fix but since it was intermittent I didn't get to it for a couple of years. Finally replaced the starter with a used one and all was well.
Funny it would happen on your car at just 70K miles, but sometimes stuff just dies young. Then again, it's a Suby, so maybe there's something else in the circuit that could cause this.
