In conjunction with ongoing issues with both the Ipod and Bluetooth not working (after being retrofitted as they were left off the factory order) it hasn't been a totally pleasant 5 days of ownership so far. :-(

Just did a search on hayman Reese and trailboss and it appears that they are both owned by the same company - Trimas corporation.That model number you have(R1934) is for a BA & AU ute according to Hayman Reese website. R2508 is what their site says is for FG with a 2300kg rating.Sorry to hear about the problems mate, I have one which is diff related and will put details in driveline forum.cheers

To their credit the dealership has been really good about it all.I also did my first hwy run last night and reckon I've got a slight high pitched whine from the diff in the 96 - 99km/h region. It's probably normal and may bed in, just that the ute cabin seems to get a heap of road noise through the rear wall / rear window region. I reckon the tub must reflect it to the cab, and / or the air vents on the rear wall allow it to come in?

FG ute is different to FG turbo ute towbar. Dont know if my Hayman Reese 'Trailboss' is inferior to the Normal Hayman Reese (R1990) or not, but nothing fell off when I used it to tow a mini excavator the other week.Dont know if your whine will go away or not. My BA Diff (s) started off with a slight whine also but gradually got worse to the extent that they both were replaced under warranty. Anyway cross your fingers , may be ok.
