I know every one here has realized the dash problem. Bu i havent seen anyone say anything about getting a new one. So if anyone has any ideas on getting a replacement dash or bezel please let me know

 

There's a lot of discussion on replacement

The diesel guys swear by these: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....er=DASHTOP-997

These also look decent: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....mber=CKM-D8101

 

i appreciate the find, but do these ideas look factory. I dont just wanna cover the problem, I wanna fix it :}

You can order factory replacement and spend 15 hours replacing the actual dash No gaurantees it won't crack again though. [:'(]

If you're looking for a fix that will prevent it, I'm sorry to tell you that so far nobody has come up with one....and it has been discussed MANY times on the diesel truck boards that I frequent.

 

[] well .....uh....oh
what about an aftermarket piece that goes around the instrument cluster....i think some one called it the bezel?

 

hmm, i picked up a factory replacement for 130 from the stealership...it does look like a PITA to replace, but i have to do it, there is literally nothing left of the original. the kid that i bought if from busted it all out. is there a walk through on the forum anywhere?

im also interested in a bezel replacement, any ideas on that?

 

I just called the stealership and priced my dash.....$450. And the guy said that there must be something special about mine becuase he just sold one last week for$200. So what the hell is going on!! And that http://www.chryslerpartsdirect.com/ they had it at $650 and up!!

It is a PITA to replace. Around 10-15 hours IIRC.

I'm guessing your dash costs more because it's an 98+ style. That's just a guess though.

 

Check out coverlaymfg.com My new dash overlay for my 98 Ram was $125. With a little sweat, effort, and epoxy my new dash looks great! My interior is gray but I went with black. I was afraid the color would not match exactly after years in the sun. I couldnt be happier with the result.

 

I just bought a OEM replacent at my local dealership for 364.00 and Luckily dailmer/chrysler is replacing my entire a/c system in my 01 ram and putting my new dash pad in for 1 hours of service..

thanks
