Hi, can't remember which wire it is, I want to say no. 14, it's black with a green stripe and will say APPS on it. If you splice that an ground it it will take care of your problem, I did that on my old auto truck. I never had to get a noise filter. Also, I learned that trick from somebody else on here, instructions from sun coast transmission web site, so it's legit

Question; how long has it been since you have replaced the alternator? As others have commented, when the slip rings wear out they generate noise. Also, do the SunCoast re-wire and clean all battery connections. Take it from one who has fought this issue and skip the noise filter addition; it is temporary at best.
Good luck

I checked the Suncoast site and it appears they have removed the link. It's an easy fix and only takes a few minutes. You mentioned the alternator is original, i think it's time you replace it. Here is a link to the wiring diagram.

There was a second Suncoast rewire that involved separating wires leaving the Alternator and running one down the passenger side of the engine and across the firewall. Anyone have details on that rewire?

Found this! http://www.kentsoil.com/dodgebug1.htm

Looking at Mr. Kents website, I would say he is only slightly anti Dodge...

In the past I read somewhere on tdr that on the diesel eng. you should only buy a new alternator and not a rebuilt alternator,because of the amp draw. has anyone put a rebuilt alt in there truck. where can I get a new alt at a good price. I see geno's has a rebuild kit also. thanks

John Landry [et al] have affirmed the value of replacing with a new unit, rather than rebuilt.
Here is a link that may help you decide and they also offer the single wire version. I recommend you consider the newer version of the Suncoast rewire re; post #5 as opposed to the other.
Best of luck, the TC lock / unlock issue can be very frustrating.
