Dodge dashboard

[whp4262]

The top of my dash cracked so I ordered a new one. Saturday was in the 70s so I thought it would be a nice day to put in the new top dashboard. After all how hard could it be right? At least I got it done before the freezing rain and sleet hit on Sunday.

Well,, I don't know... I think you should have just bought a new Chevy or even a Ford... I mean .. rust on steering column,,,brake pedal showing lots of wear..foam around center duct mashed.. broken.. I think you should have just bought a new one...with a new hitch in the bed and a new Cyclone hanging on the hitch... ,,, but that is just my opinion.

Jimtoo that's what I've been telling my wife. 256000 miles is more than enough on a truck. We have the Cyclone so I think I just about have her convinced that we need a Duramax dually 4x4 next year to go with it.

Rust on steering column??

You're really amortizing that asset This brings to mind, John Latham. I think he still owns everything he's ever bought. Talk about a man that takes care of his stuff

Anyway, way to go on this project. You have high confidence in yourself. I torn apart a few dashes myself - but I've never removed the top panel too.

You've whetted our appetites so now you need to post the "after" picture, with Armorall

Here is the after picture without the Armorall. I'm 54 and one of those people who never takes their car to a shop. I have also never hired an electrician, plumber or a carpenter for anything, I do it all myself. I'm actually considering a RV repair shop after I retire because of the problems I have read on different forums. **** poor service and inadequate repairs just ain't right.

Ok, gotta ask, did you have any leftover parts or screws? I can never figure out why I have leftovers. Lol

Leftovers are those things you didn't need that the manufacturer used to raise the price when it was new.
