I'm about to have to do this to my '94 and finding your video was like winning the lottery. Many thanks for making and posting this video.
thanks for posting this video I just did this project last weekend. I was able to find a NOS dash top. My advice to anybody that's doing this project when you get to the point of reinstalling your defroster vents. start at the driver side and work your way over to the passenger side where you have a little bit more room. That part of the project in my opinion was the worst. start to finish it took about 6 hours probably would have taken about 4 if it wasn't for reinstalling the defroster vents trial and error on that part cost us a lot of time. if you are using a brand new dash top make sure you run some of the screws in the blank holes it definitely will help get stuff started rather than tapping them underneath in awkward positions

Not only was the video informative, but your added tip is excellent too, thanks for sharing
Great video! I pulled the dash off my pickup before i realized they are screwed in from the back. Of course my dash was in MUCH WORSE condition. I looked at the new one and thought 'how the hell am i going to screw those screws in!?' Thanks for the video very helpful!
Thank you for posting, have 96 project truck working on.
Very helpful. Just replaced the dash on my 96 Ram. This video saved me tons of heartache.
Finally found a GOOD video for this job. Well done, sir! 👍👍 Thank you!
Welp, 10 almost 11 years later and im here. Replacing my dash in my 96 and this is the only video i found that is for the early years of there trucks, thanks man!!
I have nearly the same pickup. 97 SLT 5.2 in crimson. My dash is cracked just a bit and I found a good one at the junkyard for $40. Using your video I pulled it, and using your video I will install the replacement. Cheers.
Sir, your video is the ONLY one I’ve found on KZread to properly explain what needs to be done to get this blasted dash off. With your help I was successful in getting mine removed. Buy yourself a beer!
Thank you for posting this procedure..I even bought a Haynes but this did it for me...I got this.
I just performed this installation on my '97 Ram 2500. Thanks for the great guidance. I discovered a couple things in the process. The aftermarket dash I ordered did not perfectly line up with the screw holes on the air duct outlets. There was no way to really see this once I had partially installed the dash, though. I spent a long frustrating time trying blindly to start screws into holes that weren't possible. Fortunately, my truck had a cracked windshield. So, I removed the windshield so I could see everything easily. Had to reshape some of the screw holes on the duct outlets to match the dash cover. Went smoothly after that. Advice is to buy an OEM dash, which should be more precisely made. Also, test fit the ductwork to the dash before you attempt the installation.
My dash is fine, but there's a wire causing short circuit behind the dome switch and I really needed to see where it was headed behind the dash, for some reason my wire tracer won't work on that particular wire. This video helped a lot. I still can't believe how much needs to be done just to take a peak down there, but it got done thanks to you. Would have never guessed those two bolts down there. I thought the top just came off after taking off the front and top screws... silly me!
Great video, Thanks...like how you go into detail and how you show how to get the rivets out of the vin tag so they can be reused
Just bought a 97 that I put a motor in. The dash is in chunks and pieces. New cover is a must! Great video! I would have never guessed that there are that many screws under the cover. Definitely doing the heater core while I'm at it. Thanks for this video. Going to save me a ton of guess work.

THANKS for posting this video. I found it to be very informative & helpful! :-) & Please IGNORE the naysayers who are critical of your not using the procedure outlined via the factory service manual. While there is nothing wrong with using the factory manual, sometimes it is more practical for "weekend mechanics" to use an alternative method that might serve to either shorten the time required to accomplish the task OR permit the use of commonly available tools OR allow one person to accomplish the task on a weekend in their own home garage or driveway. Good to have alternative methods to choose from!

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO .your tips and techniques are SPOT ON . the flex screw driver is a must .i would like to add ,keep your swear jar around i filled mine . note my lower dash was just as dry rotted as my upper dash causing longer time and more work.
Thanks for posting this, when i replace my dash pad, im going sand under the dash and lay fiberglass to make it tougher
THANK YOU! soon im going to replace the dash in my 96 and this video will help alot. I actually found brand new replacements online i didn't want to use a salvage yard dash because im afraid it would also be very brittle
wow, i got a 99 dodge ram. Im really contemplating it now. great video though. defenitely lets people understand the work behind it
I think that flexible screwdriver is the most integral part of this entire operation. I dropped about 6 screws i need to go get one before i blow a brain vessel this project is sooo hard
extremely helpful video, thank you
Awesome. Need this little bit of info. Thanks. Couldn't find anything in manuals.
Nice video. My next truck will be a Toyota. Unbelievable shoddily built dash. Fills me with dread to even approach this.

Great help thanks did you change thge heater core while in there?? LOL
Hey good job on the video. Thanks
My Brother and I are going to do this today on my 96,Going to remove the dash completely from the truck tho,should make it less difficult and also have to replace rotted foam around the a/c ducts so most of the air wont blow under the dash.
Did you used the flex screwdriver to put in the hard ones in? By the way . Great video. I've been looking for a video like this for a year. Thanks
nope, but it's not even been a year ago. it's alot easier to just throw a cover on it like i had but i just couldn't stand knowing that it was cracked under the cover.
THANKS A MILLION!
Great video! I have a '97 that I am going to have to do the same thing on. Where did you buy your dash?
THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO
Damn! This looks complicated. I just bought a beat up 95 RAM that, fortunately for me, the former owner already removed the dash top and I only have to buy a replacement, but even that seems daunting. I just need to buy a flex screw driver.....
i bought a dash for my 96 dodge an on the back side or under side i taped it up with aluminum tape just to keep it from cracking again....
I had a custom-fit carpet dash cover installed when I bought my new '96 Ram and the dash is still in one piece because it blocked out the sun's rays.
So for a complete dashboard replacement for my 97 dodge ram where would i find it ?
help from another person and a few wiring harness plugs and a vacuum line or two and the hot cold control cable.
Thank you Mr
did your new dash crack too ?
I got everything apart and am finding it impossible to put back together! Did you install the passenger side first? I need more details on the order of operations for reinstalling the screws. thx
Did you put all the screws back in or just the easy ones? I had fun at the junkyard trying to get the newer cover off without breaking the cover. Only broke one of the holes on the passenger side. I put too much pressure on the cover trying to get my head in to see the screw.
how much more work does it take to change the heater core? thanks for the video

When you remove the dash it should be pretty fast since you can see the heater core. Just gotta know what to do And how to do it.
Thanks I believe you just made my wife’s and my life a lot easier lol
👍👍
Dam...!! I was going to replace my '95 Dodge Ram dash but not now...!! That's alot of tedious work and aggravation... btw: Has the replacement dash cracked yet..??
Wouldn't it be a good time to replace the heater core at this time? I've heard that comment on other instructions.
I can see why these dashes crack so badly. Way too many screws holding plastic to metal leaves zero expansion/contraction room. I'm going to leave a lot of them out on the reassemble.
About to remove my top pad to reinforce and paint it to avoid cracking... Is it really.. REALLY a must to un-mount the entire dash?
My dash is getting ready to go, and I got a big ugly gaping hole in the middle of the dash, been through Hell and back, maybe one of these days I'll get around doing a dashboard replacement
thankz johnny
I just got a 95 that has been barn kept its whole life, how do I ensure it doesn't ever crack? Is there a lotion?

auto salvage yard, i have another dark gray one if thats what you need.
Question for other owners of mid-90s Dodge RAM 1500 owners who have replaced their dash top panel: What is the best source for a replacement panel? -Dodge OEM part? -LMC Truck? -other? Thanks! :-)

I see lmc now offers a legit replacement top and not just a cover, but I have no experience with them, however I will say that some of there stuff is good and other stuff I have gotten is just cheap Chinese crap. that's what I don't like is you don't know what your getting until you open the box. last time I checked at the dealer they are not available. that being said a decent used one from the salvage yard was about $10.

from about 5:00 how would i go about taking out the whole dash
could just use bondo?!
well i just tried this on my 95 and the lower dash and around the instrument cluster broke all to He**...So now I am really screwed...SO be careful with this old sun damaged plastic.
wheres the video on installing the new one
after seeing this ill just get a cover
i put all of them in, probably not necessary, but i did.
Donde lo compro
so i"m willing to bet you probably got two screws in at best over the dash box
my dash is totally a gonner.

on the first gens (81-93) the windshield gasket covers up the front dash screws so you need to pull the windshield of cut the bottom of the gasket off to get at the screws to pull the dash.
Looks like too much work
