Well I know the whole dash didn't need to come out for just that. So whats the story here?

How hard is the dash to get out?

It was about 2.5 hours to that point working by myself in no real hurry. At least 50 screws but nothing too difficult. Just tedious.

Replacing the bubbled up leather dash. Just about finished thankfully.

My truck made a faint whistle after the dash got replaced, like if a window was cracked. Good luck!

Did you go with a new dash or have a shop re-upholster it? How much did it end up costing? Luckily I have not had this issue but if I ever do nice to know what im looking at.

Interesting. I don’t know why that would be. Unless they took out the whole inner dash support to do the job and left one of cowl bolts out or loose in the process. Don’t actually need to touch any of that though.

New dash, $476.10 + tax. Seems inevitable on 2021 & 2022s. But keep it out of the sun and hope for the best!

Not nearly what I figured it would cost. Makes me want to get one to put in the shop incase it ever does happen. Thank you for the info.

Do you have the red stitching or they grey?

Gray

Gray

Ok, I was wondering if the price difference was related to the color optioned. Strange such a gap for the exact same part.

That was the full total for the one with grey accents ordered direct on the Mopar site. Installing was almost the easy part. It was a battle to even get the order through and then another battle to actually get the part. Ultimately RamCares had to do some magic and had one next day air freighted from Michigan to my dealer. Which must have cost them much more than the dash is worth.

Think the one with red accents is: 7TH161R3AA and that looks to be more expensive. There’s no real logic with the pricing on these parts.

Appreciate the info, I figured it would somehow cost more even though it is just different dye at the end of the day.

Parked it in Michigan to fly out to California to take delivery on a new Heli. No Rex for a few days.
Edit: Finally got to the factory, here’s why Rex is parked.

Thats one SUPER cool excuse! Nice!

Please sell that truck to someone who will actually hear the supercharger whine once in a while.
