you sure cab clearance lights are on hold because if they were they wont be build any 3500s. btw i saw my dealer yesturday and was told that dodge is moving the manufacturing of the 2500s to st louis from mexico. he said that was the reason they have stuff on hold because the parts arnt at st louis yet. also i think parts are showing up now because my 2500 is in bx status which is parts procurement with the protection group. another guy on a dodge forum went backwards from bx to bg because of the protection group. i cant imagine going to bx if they didnt have the part that were known to be on hold. spinman wrote cab clearance lights are also on hold... i just ordered a 04 2500 and the dealer had to place the order via the dial system because the protection group is on hold. does anyone with insite know how long the hold will be in place my dealer is telling me the vehicle should arrive by the end of october but id just like to know how long it might be b4 dodge has the parts for the protection group available. tia .
