2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Dashboard Removal
Asked Mar 15, 2005, 07:17 PM
—
30 Answers My 2000 Dodge Ram 1500's dashtop has cracks throughout the dashtop. A 6" x 6" section has already come out. I want to replace the dashtop myself, since the Dealership wants almost $500 in labor charges alone to replace the dashtop. I could use some help here with Dashtop removal instructions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  |

| Ramdodger56 I have a 2000 Ram 1500 and my dash cracked so bad it looks like a roadmap. It also has a trianglular shaped piece that completely broke off. Now the front trim piece is cracking. It started before the warranty ran out but I didn't notice it until it had over 36,000 miles. I have less than 48,000 miles on it now. I'll never buy another Dodge. | ||||

| Take it from me you don't want to go there. I had to pull everything out, The passenger air bag, steering column,e-brake, all electrical switches and vacuum lines to the heating ducts, access covers and much more in order to gain access to the 12 screws under the dash that hold the defroster air ducts and the 3 screws that hold the top of the dash to the metal supports. I had this insane notion to fix mine .I had a 6X6 piece that fell out, and lots of cracks. I removed the dash top but it was in 5 pieces. I tried to glue them with 2 part epoxy, that didn't work well. So I broke out my 450 watt soldering gun and used some abs plastic I had lying around and welded the backside of all the cracks. It actually held very well but when I reinstalled it new cracks emerged and now I am searching for a replacement top cover. Dodge should be held accountable for making cheap, brittle, crack-a-lacking piece garbage. I enquired on a dealer install and they wanted over $400. So in all, they skimp in the truck then give you a F#$% if you don't know what your doing. | ||||

| Same problem. I bought my 2001 Ram 1500 brand new and the dash was missing huge pieces within 2 years. You can see all the MANY others who have the same problem by going to 2001 Dashboard Cracks. Many have tried to get customer satisfaction, but haven't. There are links to places to get replacements if you want to try doing it yourself, though. Also links to where to complain. Spread the word. | ||||
