| I purchased this truck in 2003 and the dash was cracked. it shakes and rattles whenever i hit any bumps in the road. dodge will do nothing but try to sell me another dash at a sky high rate. i'm afraid the dash will completely fall apart while my wife or i am driving down the road. i am now experiencing a vacuum problem with some lines under the dash caused by this since the dash moves so much. my abs light is on, my cruise control doesn't work and the airconditioning only blows out of the defrost vent. *tr | |||
