whats up guys, i know theres TONS of threads with options to cover dash cracks and stuff.. but im looking to REPLACE my dash and dash bezel.. i was wondering what the best place was to buy these 2 replacement items, ive done alot of searching and find MOSTLY covers and im not interested in those.. so if anyone could point me to a full replacement dash and dash bezel (hell even a stock cupholder unit) id appreciate it very much

 

visit the dealer and see what they will do for you. dash is about $400 list but can be had for $300 or somewhere in between.

the aftermarkets are almost as expensive and you still have to paint them.

 

You got quoted $400 by the dealer? My local dealer quoted me $800! Does my local dealer just suck or what? Actually, they do suck, but I didn't know they sucked that bad.

 

Check out eBay. I have been looking on there for one. There are some on there that are OEM for around $200-$300.

 

that must be the cost with install. the po of my truck had it installed and said the total was around 800. ive asked my dealer and they quoted me 440 for just the dash

 

junkyard! where are you located? maybe ill swing by the graveyard tomorrow and see if i can find one in good condition

 

Here's a replacement ABS dash with a lifetime guarantee. Dash bezels are easier to find and I don't have any bookmarks on hand. If you find a good one at a good price, please post about it because I'll be needing one when I move on to fixing up the cosmetics on my truck.

 

thats more like what im looking for... if i got one from a dealer wouldnt it be just the same kind of ****ty dash like i have now? just ready to break again in a few years? ill look into the bezels.. ive searched around and ive found what i THOUGHT to be new bezels but they were all just covers..

 

I don't know if they've done anything to improve them or not, but I'm the once bitten twice shy sort so I'd not even try the OEM part. ABS is durable stuff so I see no reason to roll the dice at the dealership.

I've bumped into them when I've searched... let's see if I can reproduce my results now... oh hell. They're all covers. The one my '98 needs is $448.50 at MoparOnlineParts.com -- a mite steep, probably about what the dealership would want.

The wife's liable to question my sanity when I order up that piece.
