well i heard it the first time after i got done handing a honda its dignity on the highway when i drove it home, i had the gauge far past 120 and still not touching redline and i came home parked it and heard a whistle and couldnt figure out where it was coming from. then a friend of mine told me that was where it was coming from. I thought that i was frying the computers one by one.

Well that is atleast good to know, so where did you find that info das? I don't know what .org you are refering to and it may just save a lot of time and energy from asking questions that have already been answered.

like i said, whistling from electronic components is generally indicative of a failure of a capacitor or something similar. doesn't necessarily mean its going to fail right away though. given chryslers reputation for denying everything that ever goes wrong with their engines, im not surprised by their response lol

I would agree with the running hard thing, because with the new computer if I drive like I still had a Drivers Permit it never whistles. But then again I race about anything that has wheels for the sport... I beat a blue hair running on three cylinders on the way home from breaking down once...
