I may be worrying needlessly but, other than the part number difference the new and old dashes from my truck seem identical in every way.

Oh well; it’s installed now…
I wouldn't worry about it. It should last another 7-8 years. By then, you'll probably have moved on. It's in, it's done. No more rattles:)

Your part is 23224747 but mine is 23224742 so we don’t have the same part.

How da hell?! I copied/pasted the number from that link you posted and I swear that "2" was a "7".

I think figured it out. Google automatically completes it to "...4747", probably since that's what I had been searching for and I must've breezed right through it.

*Sigh*
Old age is a mofo. I should probably look into sending myself to the glue factory.

I think I see where you picked up that number. I quoted James and he had that number in his comment.

Or maybe this is what happened. Still, if my vision is getting this bad, I might should not be behind the wheel. And if I can't drive any more, then I don't wanna live on this planet any more.

I revisited my dash install today. I recalled a comment about the brackets under the airbag and then remembered that one didn’t seem quite right. I pulled the airbag again and took out the two 10mm mounting bolts to find the right side bracket lifted up a lot. Thats what I recalled and I believe it creates stress on the other side of the left bracket where the first crack always starts. As I pushed down on that bracket I believe I could see the flex in the dash where the other crack was in the old dash. I found a spacer that fit perfectly and reassembled everything. The slots in the airbag mount still allowed for assembly too. Gad I came back to that!

My drivers door handle busted more so I took the time to gut the busted plastic out if it and I threaded a large zip tie through the handle and around the metal pull bracket. Then I taped the handle rubber down like it needed to be and filled the handle and area immediately below the armrest with black expanding foam. Once that stuff all cures I should have a more resilient door handle. And the zip tie will be taking the pull of closing the door

This dumb dumb painted a fishing bobber in the shop and got his truck covered in red overspray. Now the question is do I get the equipment to buff it off or do I farm it out to a body shop? Maybe all I need is a clay bar?
