Flyfshr,
Congrats on the purchase of a great coach with a great engine. The C-7, any version (HP rating) is an outstanding engine. I'd bet my house that a dealer, especially an RV dealer will not touch that engine if they don't need to in order to sell that coach. Ours has 60K on it and, I'm real sure they've never been adjusted. It's on the "to-do" list for sure. Did you get any manuals, maintenance reports, brochures, anything with the coach?
It would behoove you to sit down and go through them if you did. I've done a ton of work on ours, a kind-of sister ship to yours, an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330 HP CAT engine and Allison 3000MH trans. You'll find lots of experience in many CAT owners on this forum. They'll be glad to assist in many questions. Good luck.
Scott
