Got a 2000 4WD White 70000 original miles, garage kept, this thing is beautiful, can't wait to get it. I have never seen such a clean truck. The inside still smells new!!!! Maintance record show oil changed every 3000.OK where do I buy all the goodies for it?

 

Awesome, welcome to DF!

how soon before we can see pics of it?

 

I will try to post a pic tonight, man can't wait to get it!!!!!!!

 

Did you make sure it doesnt have the 53 block?

 

How do I check for that?????? Need to know the years and where to find the #

 

just about any 2nd gen 24 valve is capable of haveing a 53 block. if you crawl under the truck and look at the front of the block on the drivers side you will see the casting number stamped in that location. if you see the number 53 in that area in approx 1.5" tall numbers then you know you have potential problems.

the issue is the water jacket on the exhaust side of the engine was cast way too thin, 5.5mm instead of 11mm thick. so unless you let the engine have a good warm-up and cool down it may crack and leak coolant all over the place.

if it has something there other than 53 then your good.

 

Here ya go ...

 

Here the the truck ,hope you all like it!
