just to clarify a bit
the 98 is a 12 valver and the 98.5 is a 24 valver mechanical vs. electronic:hellox: |
sorry its a 98.5 24 valver

Have you detirmined that it is a 53 block, I would start there and if it were I would probably avoid it, unless it's a steal. :c:

the guy looked under the pump it said 53 on it and ya i can get it pretty cheap its got 170 miles 4x4 with 22.5s on it i have talked to alot of guys and not many of them talk bad about the 53 block i got a 97 cummins and a 2001 cummins i just dont wanna miss out on a good deal but dont want it to come back and bit me in the butt lol
|
if the block hasnt cracked yet then it will be OK
do you know where to look for cracks? |
ya under the turbo at the back of the block right
|
dont quote me on this one, but I have read a few posts and questions about the 53 block and i do believe that i read somewhere that only like 1% of them crack? can someone back me up on this?
