Quote :Using them in an attempt to cure alternator whine is also a waste. In most cases, alternator whine appears when there is a ground loop caused by incorrect wiring practices. It is also quite common when mag mount antennas are being used."
I have a magmount. I also use the vehicle's body as ground. The radio and radio case is grounded to a front seat hold down bolt. I also have a 1 gauge body to battery ground terminal connection. My stereo is grounded the same way. The only way my stereo system gets noise introduced into it is when I use a Sirio/Xm Roadie receiver that is plugged into either the cig lighter port(noisy) or the 15 amp power port(less noisy).
"Real alternator whine is caused by one or more leaky diodes. Older Delco® products seem to be the worse for this malady with older model Toyotas in second place. Brute force filters may help, however ones large enough to handle a 100+ amp alternator are usually more costly than fixing the alternator, to say nothing of the voltage drop they cause."
The second paragraph is what the R/S (Ham) dude said.

But I found the spot where you place the ferrite snap on beads on the offended and offender power wires. I just need to find out how many and what inside diameters to use
P.S. I had to replace my condenser fan motor a couple of years ago

What if I got a condenser and place it at the fan terminal? Some of the cars I've owned had them.
I read it. So,how many snap on chokes I need and do I just snap it on the wire and on both positive and negative ???
Combo pack! Yippee!

I called DX Engineering and they suggested the combo pack which I didn't know about. They're on the way.

This was what I was thinking about. Check post #9 where the guy attached a .01UF capacitor to the hot and ground terminals on his condenser fan motor.
electric fan causing cb feedback noise
Like I previously said,I replaced the condenser fan motor on my ride.

I've been on this noise thing like a coon dog.
I might still put a .01UF cap on mine.
