    I'm going to be upgrading the fuel pump on my '04 FXT and was wondering if anyone with a Walbro 255lph has had any noise issues.

    A Denso pump costs 2x as much but is suppose to be quieter, so I'm trying to guage whether the need for a Denso is justified or not.

    i believe the noise is just the fuel pump starting up before you actually turn your car on. it takes like 3 seconds...but thats it...at least mine. Thats the only noise that i hear it make

    You have to be super paranoid to hear the walbro fuel pump or I just never have my music quiet enough. Go with the walbro and save the money

    Thanks for the feedback. It may be a moot point anyway given any noise would be a relief from my kid's Wiggles CD and having cheetos thrown at the back of my head.

    I was worried about this before i got mine. Installed it and i cant even tell a difference in noise from the OE pump. Personally i would say just go for it.
