Re:#53 BLOCK ???
There is an extensive post on the TDR site regarding the 53 block. Do a search for "53block" over on the TDR.<br><br>The 53 block's evidently have an extremely thin wall near the water jackets. They have been known to crack on trucks that have done heavy hauling to daily drivers. To find out if you have one of these, check your engine block for a raised casting containing the 53 number. The TDR post states that they are normally located around the fuel pump and the oil filter areas.<br><br>You should also know that these cracked blocks seem to be a rare occurance.
