OEM Dash Removal?

Does anyone have an online diagram for removing the entire OEM factory dash? A giant piece of concrete was dropped off by a commercial vehicle on the freeway and shattered my windshield which thrashed the top of my dash. I checked and found out that the whole dash has to be replaced at the cost of $570.00 w/o labor.

 

Awesome!...thanks for the link.

 

Insurance????

 

Holy shit! Were you able to get any info on the truck? I can't imagine you would have been able to with a shattered windshield and trashed truck.

 

I was in the fast lane and he was two lanes to the right and ahead of me. It was a commercial Sterling truck with rigging crap in his bed. After the concrete block fell it bounced once and then popped up into my windshield. I thought a bomb exploded...didnt even touch my fender, bumper, or hood.

I chased the guy down and laid on my horn driving next to him. The Toyota horn is an absolute joke because the guy never looked over. I had to speed and swerve my truck into his vehicle...I was determined to have him pull over.

In the end the guy denied everything and I just took his plate and company info and reported it. I'm still dealing with his company insurance, of which, they haven't paid a dime; my insurance has been doing everything. I almost think that you have to go crooked and fake a back injury to get anything done.

I think my next mods should be a front/rear camera and horn replacement. To replace the dash is $1078.00.

 

Train horn mod?

 

no doubt!

 

you point to this as to say that it IS there... let me see if i can find it for our friend

 

Your insurance should pay for it and go after the company's insurance, not diddle you around like that

 

nope, i can't find it... anyone else with any luck?

 

What damage did it do to the dash I'm sure it is pretty scratched up those dashes are very sensitive good luck

 

Holy brown seat mod Batman!

 

To replace the dash will cost $1078.00 w/labor . The other insurance hasn't paid a dollar yet. I'm getting my truck serviced right now at the dealership for a couple things including the tsb cracked headlights. I asked if they had a dash repair person that could look at it and see if it could be fixed. The dash just got a couple scrapes and a tear that was a quarter in size. Rather than replace the entire dash and cluster, I want to try and just fix the small cosmetic problem. I will keep y'all posted.

 

That's a big chunk of concrete. Glad you're alright man. There have been stories of debris that big going through the windshield. Won't your insurance pay for a new dashboard?
