This is a problem with all 99 (98.5) to 02 motors with 24 valves. The longer or harder you use the truck including heavy towing and improper warm up of a cold motor; the more likely you are to see the crack. Welding and stitching just kicks the can down the road as a new crack will form. The thicker blocks built in Mexico do not have the 53 code on the block.
The 12 valve block also had its problems in 88 to 98 motors. This flaw was the dowel pin coming out the timing gear and being thrown threw the timing cover creating a Valdez type oil spill in your driveway.
