Hello folks,
I bought my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 in the fall of 2000,with 18n miles on the odometer . My dash starting cracking after 4 1/2 years,so I went to the dealership were I bought the truck. They said they would replace the dash, but I had to pay $100.00 labor,stupidly I said ok. It was 7 years after that my dash starting cracking.My biggest concern was that i had two parallel cracks right the passenger air bag. They ran all the way from front to back. I researched on line to see how i could fix it,so,so many ideas. The one that struck me best was the use of ABS glue for the repair. although there was no pictures it seemed logical . After conferring with a very smart friend we decided PVC glue and PVC primer(purple) would work. I cleaned each edge waited 10 minutes applied the glue to both sides.Doing one crack at a time with a thin coat and let to dry 10 hours it proved to hold. I then added 3 additional layers ,one at a time over the next few days.On completion my dash is as strong as it was new. I have since glued all the other cracks following the same procedure. The best part is I only spent $14:00 for both cans. I already had a dash cover,reinstalled that ,good as new.Thank god for the internet.
