sounds like the starter is engaging without the ignition on..but if it was trying to start the truck seems like you would hear more than a spinning sound. unless the gears on the bendix are staying down and not hitting the fly wheel..man I have had more trouble with finding a good starter this week than you could shake a stick at..I now make them test it over and over to see what the gear is doing I've gotten so many bad ones.
