Cracked Dash list

Post here with your truck / year / mileage when your dash started cracking.

If you have a picture, it'll help.

I'm trying to get some ammo together to take to the local Dodge Zone rep.

144k currently, was beginning to crack when purchased at 120k.

If you make any headway, let me know as mine is BAD now and needs replacing. Dozens upon dozens of spider cracks every direction...
