Whining noise is finally GONE
it didnt surprise me when i found out.. alternator!
my batt died this past week so thinking that was the problem i got a new one (interstate), and in 2 days that dies. wtf?
so fishing through every fuse/relay in the entire car i was trying to find out what was still drawing current with the battery unhooked, because i was getting an amp reading on my meter instead of it being zero which it should be. again, wtf? So i then tested the load on the alternator, and the reading came back "bad". Bam, pop out the nice old corroded alty and put in the new one, connected the belts and ho **** 
starts right up, gauge/interior/headlights lights seem much brighter, and that mysterious "shop-vac" sounding whine noise is GONE
