- Aftermarket Replacement Dash For 2003-2005 - This dash is advertised to never crack. This is the only full replacement dashboard that I have found for my 2003 Dodge 4x4 3/4 ton. They also have earlier models as well. You can also check out www.lmctruck.com and www.genosgarage.com and both of them have full replacement dashboards for the dodge pickup. Don't buy the one from Dodge, it will just crack again.

This dash cracked at less than 10 years and more than 7 so I was told it was too late to be covered. Now when they finally get the Takata air bag recall repair parts in, they say they can’t do the recall repair without me indemnifying them for any further damage to the dash during the repair.
I didn’t cause either of the issues and I don’t want to drive an unsafe vehicle that would be even more dangerous if the airbags deployed and showered me or my passenger with sharp dash fragments.
