"53" Block

Bought a 2000 in July with a bad clutch, finally got time to replace it with a double disk the first of August. Installed BD towing twins and 155hp injectors at the same time. Drove the truck 1 month mostly towing my pulling truck around and the "53" cracked at 116K - would it have lasted longer stock? who knows but what fun would that be.
