what is the whine in my gearbox.
at 55+ in screams like a b**ch.
could it be bearings or a lack of oil?

lack of oil.. or perhaps a mix of oil and WATER in your gearbox..
Happens..
Mate's hilux had a simliar problem.. he complained bout noise ocmin from diff and was pretty sure it was the uni joints until i checked diff oil... it spurted on me when i unscrewed the cap... apparently it was nearly full of water past the fill line - dodgy breathers...
