A whining crewman

...

WE BOUGHT a VY automatic V8 Holden Crewman last year and have covered 10,000km. In this time we have had the rear axle replaced three times for diff whine at various speeds up to 100km/h. Have you heard of similar problems and can we expect a long-term solution has been attained this time?

YOURS is a well known problem with the rear axle in the Crewman and One Tonner. My understanding is there is no guaranteed fix. Usually the rear axle is switched for another one, sometimes with success, sometimes without. If you don't have the noise with the latest rear axle, it's unlikely to develop again.
