I had mine replaced on my 01 Ram under warranty, just before 3 year/36k ran out. I'd bet the new one didn't make 3 years either. One of these days I'll get around to doing what you're doing, and along with I'll replace the plastic dash with an aftermarket one. Mine cracked into 2 dozen pieces and is held together with Plastic specific epoxy. I'd do yours if you plan to keep it. Based on my experience with the dealer I'll be steering clear from factory parts.
