David, what about your old Cresta Head you had in ther, 3.7 - 3.9?
It was a bitsa, was cresta pinion but bedford crownwheel, explained why it was so clunkly. plus I've had the commodore centre put in the bedford diff

Hey Ben

It was a few years ago when I got it done, I removed the diff and took it into the diff specialists. They provided the new ratio and fit it up including new bearings, probably over charged at $400 but that was before I got married and had spare money :)

Hi Baz, yep I did a deal with LS120 on his Cresta diff and got it shipped up to Auckland. Got Murray from McQuoid Engineering to fit it for me. Its a 3.45:1 and the good news is that it has improved the ratio by heaps. I'm still running the standard 2.3 slant behind a standard 4 speed Bedford manual box. The bad news is that the diff has a pretty bad whine which Murray reckons we can't do much about. Just old I guess. I'll probably end up dispatching the Cresta centre to Vauxhall heaven.

I remember hearing when I was young, about putting Banana Skins in the diff..?????????? Yea it's the harding gone on the crown wheel teeth, you can tell by looking at it, but yes there are aditives out there that coat this area to reduce the noise, worth a try...

yeh bananas are only recommended when your selling the vehicle and the buyer lives far far far away:( on the other hand its probably cheaper to buy the additive these days with the price of bananas!!

I agree, you would have to be Bananas to use Bananas these days, maybe you can make your own additive using Bananas....
