Just got a card in the mail telling me there's a class action suit pertaining to a crack in the engine block in 1998-2001 pattern 53, 5.9 cummins engines in Dodge pickups. It claims a crack develops on the passenger side of the block and leaks coolant. The Cummins owner can file a claim if the engine has more than 100,000 miles but less than 250,000 miles on the engine. If the suit is successful, up to $500 will be paid to go towards replacing the block. Anyone heard about this? I'm throwing the card in the wastebasket because mine has more than 250,000 miles, and I'm not supporting some class action suit that earns the attorneys millions while I would just get UP TO $500. $500 sounds like a mere pittance compared to the real cost of replacing the block.
