So my 2001 Tahoe was in a 40MPH front head on collision recently. The truck was fixed, frame straightened and it drives perfectly !
I installed some amps, speakers, etc right after and alsu upgraded the audio electrical (Big 5 under the hood w/ 0 gauge, all amps grounded directly to the frame at the rear).
I am getting alternator whine and have isolated it as being sourced from the new Alpine Head unit. The amps and DSP are quiet, but I know its at least coming from the Alpine. All the audio equipment is grounded at the frame in the rear, so they all have a common ground (amps, head unit, DSP all grounded at a bolt to the frame).
Q: Could the alternator whine be as a result of the body shop not putting the truck together correctly? Or could it be as a result of the audio install ??? I installed a new 420A alternator as well.
Just thought I'd reach out to others for input...
Thanks!
