2000 Ram 2500, Holy Dash, from what i have gathered it is the factory windsheilds that cause the cracking, somehow, it lets the wrong type uv light through and it cracks them.

02 with 135k and the cracks are taking over. entire pieces ar breaking off. looks so terrible but there some sites out there that you can get replacements ranging in price within the 100 200 range....yet still a complete waste of money considering it shouldnt be like that!!!

2001 and it hasn't cracked yet. It usually sits outside too except for the few rare times it gets to sit in the garage.
