I have found the number in two places. One is just below the VP44 injection pump, above the oil pan, on the block and you can see it from underneath the truck looking up towards the VP44. I have also found the #53 casting number while changing the oil on these truck. The casting number was just behind the oil filter below the oil cooler. Hope this helps.
