Cat C7 350 in a Winnebago Journey

[DouglasBriggs]

I am looking at possibly buying what I think is a late build '04 Journey 39K with 3 slides and a Cat C7 350 with 45,000 mi. The reason I say late build '04 is because I can't find specs on an '04 that match this motorhome but can find '05's that match. The owner says it's an '04. I have read a lot about this motor and it seems the HEUI fuel injection sytem can be very problematic. I have also read where owners say don't worry about that motor if you like the coach buy it. We really like the looks and the floor plan on it. Is this one I should stay away from because of the motor ?

Never any issues with mine in 90,000 miles.

I have a 2005 Fleetwood Excursion 39S with the C7 and about 74,000 miles without any engine problems. There's a lot of these engines out there and I haven't heard of any problematic fuel problems with them in the six years I've owned this MH.
