High pitched whine
Coming from the transmission (auto) I'm pretty sure. In park or neutral, and intermittently when in drive.
Noticed it a few days after I installed the RROR full skid set.
The tranny lines were pushed away from the engine by the required inch or so, no binding or rubbing anywhere. No leaks, fluid is full and nice and red.
Open to ideas. checked other threads and the google. I'm 99.9% sure it's coming from the tranny.

In the process of installing the RROR skid system, you're directed to pull the small bracket that holds the transmission lines next to the engine oil pan, and relocate it about an inch towards the drivers side on a supplied bracket that holds it away from the skids.
In my mind, this meant just that - pull the lines over, and pop the holder on the new mount.
The correct way to do it is to bend / reshape the metal lines gently, around the skids and onto the new bracket. If you just force it, you end up kinking the rubber hoses up front behind the radiator.
Luckily, once de-kinked, they're back to normal. No leaks, and running about 10* cooler.
