For the 94-97 dashes, Ebay has em for under 2 bills before shipping.


Also, I had this link saved. It's the Mopar part, cheapest I could find. The new ones are made with ABS plastic (the kind that won't crack).

I guess they are common problems, but after reading here and at the CTD forum, more people say they don't have those problems than those who do.
Well, down here in LA we have this thing called humidity...

Prime example.

Those tie straps really bring it together.

Yeah, that could be the difference. That dash is ridiculous. It would make me want to find the engineer who designed the material and kick them in the *****.

Maybe, but i'm not really too bitter about it. I picked the truck up in trade for a $750 jeep, so I was expecting a project. (and project it has been, let me tell you!)

The dashboard on our truck started cracking about the year it was paid for.
