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

 

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...

 

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