How's it going fellas. Im gonna replace my dash and dont want to do the overlay dash crap, so im gonna replace the entire dash with a factory. Anyone done this kind of fix before. wondering what all has to come off, out? thanks

The cover piece comes off easy. Just YANK on your dash surround (goes around radio, gauges and so on) and youll see the screws that hold on the cover. There are also a few right at the window base... Good luck finding a new one. Even if you do it will probably explode on you VERY soon after. Its a major problem with 2nd gen Rams. The covers that Genos Garage and LMC truck sells are AWESOME! Look just like factory. Highly recommended! Plus they are warrantied!
