fleetwood # 53 problems
looking at a 2000 Fleetwood discovery, I've read about the #53 motor block cracking and leaking, but what I've read mostly in dodge trucks-- is it the same motor block as motorhomes? i'm guessing it...

First, that was only applicable for the ISB (5.9L) 24 valve engines. There is a good chance that you may be looking at a motorhome with the ISC (8.3L) engine.
ETA - there are also long lasting repair alternatives to block replacement - there is a successful procedure to "stitch" the crack. If it really comes down to it, you could always peen lead into the crack for a 20K mile repair....
