How would I do that. I might have to cancel my order with the dealership.

I heard the HO cams are getting hard to come by. I almost had a set for sale when the HO in my Grand Cherokee decided to drop a valve seat and grenade the engine, but I decided to rebuild. The thing was just in too gooda shape to part out. Had some inquiries on the cams, the dana axles with the lockers, the electric/heated seats and my 3" lift springs though. But what the hell was I gonna do with the rest of it??? LOL...

Mopar parts america said the cams were discontinued but the dealership said they would be here in 7 or 8 days

So I got the new driver side cam from the dealership today and installed the cams. Holy crap I'm in love again. This cams are some much better than stock. I'll try and get some videos tomorrow.
