Default Possible mods for the weekend...



I've been told the Walboro 255s are a bit noisy. Anyone got any in-car vid of this? My diff is noisy already, so whatever, IMO.

I've got my hands on some PISNUOFF modded HURST shifters... #hurstingyourfeelings. I'll hopefully be doing all this this weekend, assuming this snow lets off and it isn't blisteringly cold.

I'll be trying out the revshift flex disc as well and putting up my review on it.

I have a Walboro 255 and the only noise i have noticed is when you first turn on the car and the pump is priming.

I had one in my suby and it was never loud. I know some guys called them whine-boros and sometimes they just started to be loud out of nowhere after being quiet for months. I've also found that plenty of those kinds of things are repeated online over and over (just like I'm doing now even though mine was quiet) so it's tough to tell how widespread something like that is. I don't think it can be worse than the factory diff with a urethane bushing.

Thanks for the info and feedback guys. Not worried about buzzing on startup. Actually would relieve me to hear the pump.

Now if anyones got a line on some TPMS, let me know. I noticed the main thing I may need is tires very very soon.

Buy the tpms from rockauto.com. They are like $35 each shipped. I had one go bad but replaced all 4 and that was the cheapest I could find. Cheaper than fleabay, autozone, oreilys, etc.
