Default Electric Motor Noises. GAHH!!

Alrighty, so I was a little wrong, and a little right when I said it
fixed my problem.

The electric blower motors, windshield wiper motor, etc, noise has gone
away. I just discovered that a power line right next to my house
overbears all the other noise that I now discovered my car is putting
out. My cars still putting out RF noise, I'm presuming from the spark
plugs and the fuel pump. Any suggestions beyond the capacitor trick? My
noise level drops to S0 or S1 when everything in my truck is off, and
when i'm away from the powerlines



Ground your radio. And by "ground" I mean an RF ground which you get
by mounting the bracket directly to the metal and/or using a -=SHORT=-
ground wire. You can't fudge on this ground.


(unfortunately, my car can only go
about 30 feet from the powerline, which isn't far enough away to have
an effect).



Dude, that's some terrible gas mileage. Maybe your car just needs a
tuneup..... hey, I thought you said it was a truck?


Any suggestions for helping reduce the powerline noise? (This is large
main powerline that is going into my noise, not powerline for my car).



That noise may be unavoidable. Can you do the flourescent bulb thing?
