2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Who has a crack/crack's in their dash? Informal Poll

[BTowler]

my dash is getting so many cracks that chunks are about to start falling out! I saw on another thread that the sub that made the dashes cut corners and molded them too thin, hence the cracking, doesn't matter what color.

Ain't no crack anywhere in my truck. (it's illegal and addictive I'm told :-laf )





My 94 dash is not cracked despite my painting it flat black.

 

[Big D.Wayman]

No cracks here.



Have you narrowed down what model years or other variables (Exposure to sun?) affect failure rates?

dash cracked

the dash split right above the steering wheel. Whats involved in fixing this.

 

[BTowler]

No cracks here.

To the best of my knowledge it is just 99-00 that are affected. Sun has nothing to do with it other than maybe accelerating the cracks, it is the thickness of the plastic.

'01--none.

 

[Mike Ellis]

'97, grey interior, built in Mexico, no cracks so far. I put Armor All on the dash once or twice over the years. No sun shield, no garage, no window tints. Next time I walk outside it'll probably shatter like a cracker though.



Question: Any correlation to driver smoking / not smoking?

[JDougherty]

Mine is in a dozen pieces. Anybody got any ideas on the best way to hold down the rattling noise going down the road?

 

[rholcom2]

Wonder if you could pour rubber cement down in the cracks and create some padding?? Course that could get messy!

 

[mkhenry]

94- one long crack from windshield to instrument panel.

 

[DPKetchum]

I looked at several when I worked in a D. C. dealer. The ONLY ones cracked had gooey stuff on them. Armour all etc. It attracks HEAT. The ones just plain wiped down or left dirty(construction trucks etc. ) never saw a crack. Some manufactures had TSB'S on this and if slick and gooey NOT covered.

 

[Sandifer]

My '95 3500 dash has more cracks than a plumbers convention. Anybody know where I can get a replacement without paying too much?

 

[Cummins Pilot]

I heard a "pop" the other day when I slowly drove over uneven ground. I was wondering what popped, hope it wasn't my dash. EXT warrenty will get it if it did split.
