Here's the update at the bottom if you read the most recent post firstlike I do.
ORIGINAL: aim4squirrels
UPDATE:
So they were installed today at 4 Wheel Parts. The service rep said they let the truck idle for 15 miles on the rack to make sure the intial break in was done properly, butI have my doubts as I noticed some noise on the way home.A very soft whirrrrr, is this a whine? I don't think idling with no force put on the R&P is enough and that's why it was noisy on the way home. They told me to take it easy for at least the first 250 miles or so,but should I take it back immediately due to the noise? IsANY noise from a new set of gears acceptable?
I think I'll at least call as a precautionary measure to ensure they know I'm concerned with the noise, and if it doesn't go away shortly I'll be taking it back to them.
On a side note, I can't gauge any acceleration benefits yet as I'm driving extra cautious right now, but it seems to hit the same RPMs about 5 miles an hour sooner right now. It also seems to shift a little sooner. Not 100% sure about that though as I'm really light-footing it right now. I might trya small adjustment of the TV cable to put the shift points back higher if it seems to be a problem. Give me a big, fat, BAD IDEA warning if youall think that's not such a good one to mess with.
