Exactly! I am so pissed with car guys (and Americans in general) being so damned short-sighted and CHEAP. Get rid of the Wal Mart mentality and think LONG TERM.
I look at $330 for a dash like this:
1) Sunk cost
2) Time to remove the old dash
3) Time to install the new dash
4) Enjoy the new dash (ie Keep the truck for 2 years and the cost breaks down to ~ .45/day
Get a used dash, and chances are that it will crack again. There's good money down the drain.
Pay once, cry once, but have peace of mind. Same holds true when buying tools. Quit buying Kwality from Harbor Freight and get Quality.
