Does anybody know which one of the blocks is the one with the number 55? I just bought a 2000 ctd 4x4 and it has block # 55.

 

Not sure if I understand what you are wanting to know. It is a Brazillian block, 55 is the casting.

The 53 blocks were the ones that were prone to cracking.

 

I wanted to make sure that there was such a block number as 55 and that I wasn't just seeing things. I was really worried that it might have been the # 53 block that I couldn't see well enough and thought it was a 55.

 

Ok, I guess I did actually help... No you aren't seeing things, there is a 55 block.

 

Congrats on the new truck Chris. Sorry I didn't get to respond to your email about what to look for, but sounds like you knew the biggy already
You might have already been given this link about the #53 block

Stamey is a member here at DTR and knows lots about the #53 block issues. Sounds like 55 is good to go
