Personally, I would avoid any Cummins after mid-1998 = electronic/computer headache.
How do you identify those "53" blocks?
I think I have to look for pre 98, extended cab 8' bed for my camper. Manual or auto? What else to look for?
Thanks,
Dan
Hi,
Just came back from 5 day holiday to Somerset, PA with my '94 F350 7.3L IDI, with an 8' slide in camper and towing my motorcycle on a trailer.....Dan
Look under the left front of the block---there is a small flat section with the numbers "53" cast in----- very thin walls = block pitting and coolant leaks...similar to cavitation, except the 53 blocks were just poorly casted.
repair = removal
That sounds great! I'm in the process of grafting the Venture fans onto the shroud, did 2 layers of fiberglass yesterday, proby 2 more today, and I'll paint it black tomorrow. I'm going to wire both fans to work together, and a bypass switch inside. Got any pictures?
Cheers!
Dan
... where is it supposed to be next year?...Dan
