Class action suit for 53 block
Anyone else get the post card regarding the lawsuit against cummins for the dreaded 53 block?
www.cumminspickupblocksettlement.com
hope this will help anyone who had to deal with a problematic engine block, looks like a 500.00 settlement-probably not even close to what had to come out of pocket to repair a bad block- but it is somthing- good luck guys!!

Looks like the layers are trying to get 750,000.00 for their hard work on this case-lmao
as usual the middle class takes it in the seat of their pants and the layers walk away with everyones hard earned money- only in America

I'll take $500 for the replacement of my crappy cracking dash.............
If MY block cracked, $500 wouldn't hardly cover the shop fees, much less parts and labor.

If you have a 53 block and it has not cracked is it best to opt out so you can try and get funds at a later date. If you do nothing you get nothing and cant sue at a later time.

i have 2 of them, the 99 is leaking right now. it's not being driven, just setting at the shop waiting for someone to pull the engine out (me).
i have a Mexican block and all the gaskets, rings, bearing bla bla bla to fix it up all ready.
i am filing a claim ASAP. it meets all the requirements except for the 4" exhaust and the FASS.

I just talked to the attorney representing the 53 block owners and he said it was hard negotiating to even get the $500. They figured in lots of things and is based off of two companys that are fixing them for that price.

most common place it left side front, bottom of the block below the P/S pump.
see the oil pan and dampner
