99 cummins???
 

Hey guys, I have an 02 dmax but my brother is selling his 99 24v and am debating selling the dmax and buying the cummins, is there any thing I need to know about the truck like any possible problems I may have. Btw it has 199,000 miles a quad adr and its a 5 speed:tu:

53 Block

What does that mean?

at that mileage, unlikely to be an issue but not an impossibility either.



hes referring to this rare issue with some blocks cracking, most had a 53 casting number in them, less than 1 percent actually cracked.

53 Block FAQ and Information

injection pump been replaced? does it have a lift pump?

It has an airdog 2 lift pump 65 hp injectors and a new injection pump.

Ok guys just went and checked the truck, it DOES have a 53 block. Do I need to worry about this? When could it give me trouble? Btw all the parts I listed above are all brand new.

switching from a LB7 to a 24v is a step back IMHO

I can't decide, I love the dmax but I like the sound of the cummins better, and that it is a 5 speed.

the Allison is 5-speed too...... and it doesnt sound like a tractor... :tttt:

Hahaha I just wish I had a 6 speed manual, but I think I am going to stick with lb7.:tu:
