I recall seeing several threads regarding cracked dashboard panels. I'm looking to replace my '97 Ram with a newer model, but would like to avoid those models that had the dash problem. What years are most affected by the dash problem? I posted this question on the 3rd gen forum, but didn't get any usable answers. Apparently, the 3rd gen trucks didn't have this problem, or maybe those who answered just haven't had this problem....................... yet!

 

My 98' has several cracks.

 

my 97's is flawless

 

my 01' is flawless also.

 

my 99 is trashed

 

I heard 01's were problemed, but my 01 which has sat outside its entire life doesn't have a single crack. Albeit, I live in Alaska, and in the summer it never really gets much above 70...

 

My 2000 is fine. No cracks yet and it is always outside in the sun.

 

my 96 is flawless

 

my '96: big crack. Texas sun
whatever

 

99 thrashed
