A lot of people say this but if the noise is due to a ground loop, as it often is, and you break the loop by disconnecting the antenna have you proven anything?

She says the whip is grounded to the frame. I'm picturing a long ground wire ran from the antenna bracket to the frame. It may very well be an antenna issue. That ground wire is too long to be an effective rf ground and would be more like a radial. That radial being down near wiring for the fuel pump and other electronics may be the problem
