A new IAC may not help you much if the IAC plunger sealing surface in the throttle body isn't clean. To do a good job of that you'll have to remove the throttle body. There's a DIY on the site that goes into some detail. I just did this to my '95 Ram 5.2 and it was easy. As for the whistling sound, mine didn't make any noise, so I can't comment on that.
it should not whistle... if you hear a whistle, your TB hat is not sealing on the TB. this is the cause 99% of the time. check the gasket on the TB/Hat and make sure it's not torn.
