Mines a 99 and dash is also falling apart, put a cover on it a few years ago, and has done ok so far, but every day i find pieces of the dash in floorboard..lol. bad thing is i have to replace heater core, so i guess i will have to replace the whole dash. the best place i have found parts is genosgarage.com and lmctruck.com. one site the cost of the dash is cheaper, the other site the bezel is cheaper.

^^thats what I have, hides the cracks well and it actually gives it a nice look once you get used to it. Sometimes its hard to tell its not even stock or a replacement. I can post pictures if anyone wants to see what it looks like before buying. Its a cover king

Dash crack

Just check out Geno Garage Diesel. He sell the dash but it all PCV and look just like the orginal. But if you have not done a new heater core or AC evaperator now is the time to do both. Because the whole dash has to come out. Geno dash is around 350.00. A lot better than overlay on something that all crack up and be floating around when hitting bumps.

Wish I could fine the whole cap in my color. So far I have only found one entire replacement cap but it was gray.

That's so crazy. I've had multiple 2nd Gens without this issue. Guess my previous owners where just really good at taking care of their dash (Like never using Armor-All)

If you look for the data, there's actually documents on the dash where owners reported dash cracking in as little as 2 yrs after buying their truck new.. It's amazing how crappy the material is, that they were using. I mean, I've got a 25yr old BMW with a plastic dash (TX car) that has no cracks in it. (the door panel vinyl shrinkage is another matter, however ;) )

Mine was replaced at the dealership back in 2003 by the prior owners.
