Get this, my first crack appeared 2 days after posting here. But it was when I was loaded with well over 2,000# of dirt and gravel and hit a little wash(or as we call them drainage) and the truck twisted really, really bad longitudinally. One crack from the defrost vent to about 3" from the gauge bezel.

Mine never had any holes in it until I was bragging about how mine was cracked but not holy.
Guess what? One huge hole.
But, hey! It rides quieter now without that huge chunk of plastic rattling around all the time.

Yeah...at first I tried to leave it alone as much as possible. Then the squeaking got on my last nerve. One good thump and there she went.

LOL you guys are funny My 02' has cracked really bad. Till this day i havent found a store where i can buy an actual dash cover/bezel and not a cover. At one point there was once an AD on top of the forum title that mentioned "Cracked Dashes? we have OEM replacement, Blah Blah" or something like that. But all they carried were plastic covers! I'd really hate having to go to the Stealer and order a new one :/
