They can be found in trucks as late as 01, whick offered the HO, so you could have a HO with a Tupy #53 block.

CumminsRedneck

ok, i will have to check then when i go look at it

I have an 01 auto and checked the block above the pitman arm and the only thing i could find was a small 23, is there another place it could be?

PT109

sdodge on my 01 model about 6 to 8 inches to the left of the #23 is the#55

Hey. I bought 98,5 24valve dually( its still in america),I havent seen it yet but I checked its vin number and carfax says it's manufactured in United States.

No big deal but then I checked another 98 dually specs, it was manufactured in mexico!?

So I just thought, is my cummins for sure now a #53 blocker?

Rauschbo

The number is on the block...

Erska

Yes I know. But does that fact where it is manufactured increase the risk to have a 53 blocker?

I havent seen my truck yet, and I'm fearing that has 53 block and it will crack when I tune the engine...

So let me see if I have this right you bought a truck and you haven't seen it yet,Why?just curious.

Erska

Yeah, you got it right.

Reason is becouse I live in Finland and truck is still in Miami. See the irony?

displacedtexan

All the 53 blocks were cast in Brazil...

Erska

Do they build Rams in Brazil, Mexico and United States separately and using their own blocks or just randomly put those 53 blocks?

I know everything what is necessary about 53 blocks, how to fix those or how to notice them but I dont know where or wich Dodge factory they installed those on Rams...

Erska

So... No-one knows huh?

CIN'S DODGE

Thanks i appreciate the reply. I hope this truck is in mint condition.
