RE: ANNOUNCEMENT:crack dashes and the nhtsa. please sign up.
I have a '99 ram and my dash is well.... Lets put it this way... Ever seen a jigsaw puzzle with 500 peices? I took my dash apart and spent hours getting sealing and glue to hold it together... The underside of my dash is a wad of duct tape, poly sealant, and plastic cement..
The dashboards on my truck and those of similar years (I know 6 other people with this problem, all trucks between '96 and 2001) are getting brittle. It's like brittle-bone disease for a dashboard basically.. It started out as 1 crack and turned into 5000. There fore awhile I was driving around with no dash... Most of the problem comes from no insulation. The dodge dashes are mostly plastic and even the reinforcement grooves and bridges don't protect the plastic from getting brittle.. One day you hit a pothole and there's a hole the size of a basketball... WTF? [&:]
