You aren't the only one disappointed with the Cheyenne dash. Mine is rarely out in the sun but I have some pretty bad warping, particularly around the defrost vents. I read quite some time ago that someone had been selling fake Cheyenne dashes on ebay, which is where I ordered mine. I assumed with all the great reviews on this site that I managed to get one of the fakes. Maybe not, but I got it several years ago.

Mine came directly through Anthony of Cheyenne truck parts at a show. He SWORE to me there were no issues with warping and I believed him! The problem with buying at a show is NO BOX and therefore no way to easily ship it back. I even talked him into being a vendor at the GIT DOWN 2018 because I believed in his products. At the end of the day, I will be better off to sell it and cut my losses. I am pretty picky but this DOES drop almost an inch in the center and has a bad wave by one of the defroster vents. I am sure there are more of us with problems. I may have to start a post to that effect and see how many people actually have a had problems.
