Steve, Could you possibly post a few more details as to exactly where you installed the capacitor and ground cable? I installed a cap from the smaller alternator stud (blue wire location) to a bolt I put through the alt casting near the upper mount bolt. I then ran a #4 cable from this bolt to the body metal at the front of the engine bay. I suspect this last point is not making good contact, but I am having a hard time finding any suitable grounding points near the engine. Any detail on where you located things would be helpful - my changes have had NO effect so far.
