    ...anyone know the part number or where I can buy a cheap one?

    Mine is scratched and has been bothering me for over a year now.
    I want to avoid the dealership and I'm certain they sell them cheaper elsewhere...I just haven't been able to find a place that has them.

    Thanks!

    I've never cleaned mine bc I'm afraid of scratching it! I bet you could take it all apart and wet sand it with some 1500 grit sandpaper then wax it really good and it would come out looking brand new. Personally I'd pay 27 bucks for a new one.

    Tacozoid--

    Which dealer has them for $27? I called mine and was told that they cannot order the part and can only sell me a new radio. Had same answer for the temp and direction display in top of cab but found a guy in Maryland that soldered the broken wire for $39, shipping included--a lot less than the $300 for a new one from the dealer.
