anyway to check if its a 53 block by the vin number? I just ask because the guy I am getting the dodge from is out of town this week and I dont think I can see the 53 stamp without opening the hood and I would like to have an idea before he comes back...or can i crawl under the truck and check somehow?
went and checked it as best I could in the rain with no flash light...I didnt find anything but a long series of numbers on the left side of the block and nothing on the right side but I am still unsure if I was checking in the right spots. I just basically felt all along the bottom of the block on both sides above the oil pan.
yes there is but I guess Im confused..Do all blocks have a 2 digit number? Seems I read in an article that if it has a row of numbers its a certain block, not a 53 though. Is this incorrect?
