today was a good one for you guys--- some redneck engineering !
the DASHBOARD /DASHPAD
i had replaced the dashpad when i got the truck as some genius glued carpet to the previous dash and no im not vacuuming my dash ,, i clean my truck with a leaf blower!
anyway,,, those shitty clips that mount to the bottom of the dash pad then clip into the skeleton --- suck an entire bag of dicks ..
so i ran hose clamps thru the slots on the bottom of the dash,, lined the clamps up with the holes in the skeleton and then used 6" pieces of 3/8 pex through the clamps sticking through the skeleton ,, and then tightened the hose clamps down... no more bouncy bouncy dash .. there are 26 slices on my hands and arms but the rattles are all gone.
