How big is the cracking problem on the #53 blocks? Looking at a used truck with a #53 block.

It's not... . Go buy yourself a lotto ticket. You'll have a better chance winning the lotto than getting a cracked block! Oo. Buy the truck and enjoy.

I agree with DEZLPWR on the odd's of cracking the #53 block. However, this might be a good tactic to mention this concern to the seller when haggling over the price just in case he isn't as informed.



signed, happy #53 block owner
