Default Cracked Dash

Just noticed my 2001 Sport 4X4 Ext Cab that I bought 2 months ago has a
pretty good crack in center dash and 1 about steering wheel area. All starting at the window.
Is this a known problem with this Model or Make? If so any ideas to control the
crack? Thanks

It's a common problem with all 2nd generation Dodge Rams. [:'(]

www.genosgarage.com supposedly has the best replacement for it. It sounds like it isn't a fun job changing it though. I have to do it sometime in the future, but it's not first on my list.

Join the club...we should start a contest and send in pics and see who has the worst crack in the 2001 model year.
Here's another thread that you can check out and see how others are fixing/replacing there's:

i stopped mine from cracking further by putting super glue on the end of the cracks and it stopped them, it doesnt look real pretty but i guess its better than nothing

My 01 cracked exactly as you described on yours. Just noticed it about a month ago. Noticed today the second crack above the steering wheel.
