Warped dashoard

  • Hello, I'd like to know if other owners have had a similar problem with warped dashboards? I just noticed it today. I'e only had the truck less than a month and a half so this is new to me.

Welcome to the forum and we hope you enjoy your time here. We have a great group to answer questions and help with problems. We look forwards to your questions and input.

I would look at others like your truck to compare vents. What year?

Look in your states chapter and talk with your neighbors.

don't think so. I have my own auto reupholstery and leather repair business here and it' definitely not part of the design. Too much with the trim pieces around the vents and i also checked the area around the passenger airbag as well. I know someone who has a dash and I' going to confirm with him on Monday. He just swapped his out for a Lariat dash.
