I just recently put a new alternator and water pump in my vl and now when im driving and slow down to stop, as it is idoling it makes a high pitched whistling sound any ideas on that???
Also when i take of from stopping there is a noise between vibrating and clunking coming from underneath the car you can feel it in your feet, i think that it is the diff but any other ideas??

Belt tension too tight/loose?
Possibly tailshaft centre bearing.

You'll wear out bearings in the alternator and water pump real quick if you over tighten the belt.
It's been about 4 years since i replaced my centre bearing so i couldn't even give a ballpark figure on replacement. Anyone?
Also, if it only clunks once when you take off, could be a uni joint. If it's more a constant rumble or vibration then i'd say centre bearing.
