350 HP/900+ lb-ft torque in that short a coach will be quite strong.

That much torque? Nice!

Overall the Journey is a great coach. Some good friends of ours have a 2003 34' Journey on the Freightliner chassis and they love it. It has the CAT C7 330hp/860 ft./lbs. of torque and does extremely well. They pull an enclosed trailer slightly smaller than ours and it does great. I cannot tell you what floorplan they have with any certainty though.

Actually its 860lbs trq. The 3126e which I have is rated at 330hp. 860 torque and the C7 is rated at 860 lbs torque and 350 hp..

Same engine, with improvements for emmisions. A few other changes such as a sealed fan pully bearing that does not require lubing. No Zirk fitting. Lowering the breather from the top of the engine to a lower position for a lower profile. etc.

Check your fan hub pully carefully. If its loose or wobbly replace it. Some have converted back to the one that you can manually lube because failures.

Make sure that your slobber tube is extended beyond your cac and radiator to prevent blowby from clogging the radiator.

A great engine, just a few thing to watch for.
