Has anyone tried one of these?

 

Looks like a cover not a dash replacement.

Did your dash crack?

I just foudna nice large crack in the drivers side console...can't see it unless you are outside of the truck.

I knew it was a cover, but I was just trying to see if someone could tell me how well they fit.

Yep, mine has several cracks in it. Kept it clean, used winshield covers, etc and it still cracked. I slowed them down by using a real small drill bit and "hand" drilling right at the ends of them.

 

This is right at the top of my list of things that **** me off in these trucks! These dashes are worse than those old cardboard dashes in the old (73- ) Chevys. I have 4 long cracks in my dash right now.

 

Is the replacement dash from Dodge made from the same junk as the factory one ?

 

i am going to install one in my truck. i have not heard of a cover cracking yet. i think the covers are a different plastic than what dodge used. everyone i know whith a 98 -01 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton all have cracked dashes. mine is so bad i am surpised no chucnks have fallen out yet.

 

Be sure and let us know how it goes. Pics if possible.

 

turbo dreams--are you going to use the Dodge replacement or a aftermarket ?

 

wanna know 2.

 

I finally found a place that had the grey Signature Series Dash Mat and ordered it today. A friend has one on a 3rd gen and it looks nice and fits real well.

 

The dash mat from Geno's Garage works well. I just put one of these in a buddy's '99 and it fits well and hides any of the ugly marks in the dash.

 

Howdy Justin, missed you this weekend.

I didn't find the covers for the top of the dash at Geno's, only the fancy dash front covers.

Did you get a chance to ask your brother about the Coastal?

 

Here's the one I was talking about...forgot they had two.

I didn't find that one. The Dash Mat is very similiar and $5 more.

I don't really like any of them, but I tired of looking at the cracks.

 

So far, I haven't had trouble with mine (knocking on wood)....but I'll probably go downstair later and find a crack.

There's a guy at home that has an '01 that he bought a while after mine...he's already got a huge hole in the middle of the dash that will swallow anything put up there.
