Glad I got my order in in time. Just picked up the Mega Cab last week!

Have you been able to order it yet? I have been trying to order a 3500 Mega Cab 4x4 with 6. 7l diesel and 6spd since October. As of yesterday, the dealer said that in their system there is no way to order a 3500 with a diesel right now. Let me know if you have any updated information on when you can actually place the order. It's killing me.

No dice.

I, too, called my dealer today inquiring about a 2500 or 3500 SRW 350/650 6-speed auto. When he went in to begin spec'ing one, the computer told him only a HEMI #ad
could be ordered due to the switch over, and he expected to have some info Monday.

I was playing around on Dodge.com the other day and it let me build a regular cab 2500 with the 5. 9 Cummins. It wouldn't let me select any other configuration.

Greg, thanks for the update, I guess I will try again Monday.

Are you planning on ordering the factory exhaust brake? Do you know, or does anyone know, if there are any downsides to the exhaust brake. I want to order one, seems like a good concept, just want to know are there any reliability, wear or other issues that may come up wit it.

I ordered my new C&C with the brake. Truck is due to leave the factory on 13th . I read that this brake performs better than current after market units and at $300. 00 is a bargain! Will be able to tell more when the new truck gets here. I have not found any info on reliability, but am sure cummins tested it and was satisfied .
