Default Long trip???need quick advice....

My uncle asked me to pick up my cousin for him tomarrow in georgia, so from ocala to about macon. The problem is my rear has been whining for a while now, nothing too loud, but when I reach a certain speed and I'm not accelerating or decelerating it whines a little.

I had it all replaced about 5 months ago, it made a little noise when I got it back. And Ive been very gentle with it, I don't think Ive been WOT once since ive had it back...

What do you guys think?

Trip shouldn't be a problem. If it's gear whine, the rear should perform fine. If the whine is changing over time, it will be time for more maintenance soon.
