Thank you for the information. I could have done a search of the forum instead, but your results didn't give any good feedback as to what I wanted to know. I know its a problem with the Dodges and needs replacing. I just wanted to know what everyone has done in regards to that. Where they get GOOD replacement peices from, if it might have been a recall or not, and HOW in the heck do we remove the old & install the replacement peices ourself....if it is easy enough to do.

Any more ideas...comments...expierences??? I'll be checking on the LMC Truck products in the meantime.

THANKS!!!!!!

I like this approach:

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...oken-dash.html

Replacement dashes are expensive for what they are, a piece of plastic.
I can't help myself, but I'm always thinking in terms of how many non-returnable plastic milk jugs would it take to make one. It's a habit I developed long ago and still have.
