i saw a install video for one of the dash covers on our trucks and I have to say that it looks pretty damn cheezy. I guess I'll save up and get the whole replacement dash.

Does this thread cause our dashes to crack? After reading this and posting in it, I found another crack on mine.
I told a buddie about the crack - his reply was "The best way to protect your dash is to never wipe the dust off of it. The dust blocks the UV rays better than any kind of protectant you can put on it." He may have a point.

Another idea, in adition to not wipping the dust off, is not looking for cracks. Then, you'll never find them.

Default Bucket holes

My dash has a hole as big as five gallon bucket. Think dodge missed on the dash design on these trucks
