Hello, I have owned a 1997 49-10 welfare bus for about 4 years now and have being slowly converting it to a camper. It has had some hidden issues which i have managed to sort but the main one is how slow it is. I have had been reading in the forum that i am not the only one with this problom and i am aware it is a rear axle gear ratio issue. Can i ask a few questions to see if other people have fixed this problom. 1. From reading other posts it seams i have a rear axle with a ratio R = 1:5,22 Z=9/47 (part no.7173881), can i buy the Crown and Pinion gears anywhere and forget about sourcing a complete axle? 2. I live in Ireland and very few of the old Iveco are over here being broke, what model of Iveco should i be targeting with the hope of finding the correct axle that can bolt up to my bus? 3. If i can change out the Crown and Pinion gears what price am i looking at for the components? And last question, is there another way of keeping my hearing above 40MPH and going around 60MPH? |

There are a number of methods to deaden the sound. None is a miracle cure, but they a ll help: See my blog http://drmarkstardis.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/sound-insulation.html I have bigger tires, but I still cruise at 50mph (less than 2500 revs) mainly because of the dramatic increase in fuel consumption. |

Very interesting site Mark. Yes I will try the sound deadening, I used it on a landrover and it also made a noticeable difference. I do need a bit more speed though so I will have to change out the diff I fear. |

Here is another picture, I have still to install a panel over the seating area. This will contain the solar panel and pneumatic cylinder controls. Not too far off finishing it now. |

Lots of the buses will be fitted with that ratio diff, look for panel van/luton vans of the same weight (especially the more powerful versions) to find a diff better suited to cruising. |
