look for the 53 block. That is very important.

Mechanos

Most likely will not find a 53 in an '01. Most of the 53's were used up by then. It will most likely have a 55 block in it, but you never know....

I would say fuel pressure first the check to see if any codes and the history on the vp44 and lp. After that front end stuff like steering and ball joints just my thoughts

How do i tell if it is a 53 block? what is wrong with the 53 blocks?

If she has disk brakes all the way around its a 01.5. Def check out fuel press. You'll know everything else on the test drive.
