After seeing many threads of failed gearboxes on BAL slides I contacted FR for info and they were no help figuring out if they have been updated and what build date but did give me the phone number for BAL support (800-347-2232).
BAL support was very evasive but did admit that the gearboxes were "upgraded" but was unable to tell me what date. If the serial number starts with an "18" it is the upgraded version. So one can only assume it was sometime in 2018. Perhaps it is time to order a spare
