Default Ordered a new dash top

Kinda confused cause I posted this last night I thought but now its gone. If somehow it returns mods do what ya gotta do merge or delete one.



Anyway i ordered a new dash top last night. I got the one off ebay that Jasow posts up all the time. Its this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

I know pc said they had a couple negitive feedbacks. There was only 2 or 3 and a ton of positives. I figured I would give them a shot. I can always send it back. I will let you guys know how everything is when I get it.



I also ordered my gauge pod last night. 405.95 total down the tube last night. I hope to have everything ordered this week so its here and ready

that cap looks like its pretty high quality. i just got a 150$ cap for mine after dodge screwed me (and everyone else for that matter).
the oem replacements were 200 a couple summers ago and when i went up there the following summer they were almost twice the price so i said no thank you.

Yeah the dealer told me it would be around 400 bucks. I figure why spend that on something that might crack again.

^ Good Point.

Maybe I missed it, but have you gotten your truck back from the shop yet?

Well I got the gauge pod. I'm kinda pissed about it cause I was told it was a complete replacement for the a pillar and its not. I just got off the phone with Speedhut cause the box was open when I received it and wanted to make sure I had everything. I made sure to tell him that I had emailed them before ordering it and was told that. he said he would let the girl that handles that know. Its no big deal I guess nothing I can do about it. i could send it back and maybe find a cheaper one but I got it so I'll just keep it.

I haven't received the dash yet. I sent them a message asking for a tracking number and was told they received my order on the 23rd but the weekend slowed them up so it would be shipped out Monday (yesterday). Now the thing I don't get is the 23rd was a Monday so how the "weekend slowed them up" is beyond me. I haven't gotten the tracking number yet so not sure if it was sent or not.
