yeah a real small spot right up against the plastic part on the end. I don't wanna bitch it up using pliers. I tried doing it by hand and its too damn tight

Thats the screw in the door for me lol. it always works itself loose. Pissed me off yesterday while looking at what I had to d to fix the switch I realized my dash is cracked. Goes from the defrost vent all the way up to the black trim pice that goes around the cluster. I love my truck and all but WTF? Was Dodge cheap as **** when they made these things. I've replaced so much stuff already on this truck that I've never replaced on things older then it. I need a new track bar as well and I hear that our trucks track bar sucks so bad some people have to replace it every year.

How do you like your round air cleaner btw? I've been pondering doing that. Does it give you anymore power from a stop? and how did it do with your gas?

You can put a piece of leather in between the pliers and the tilt lever, that'll keep you from marring the lever.

i like the air cleaner. not a major difference, but good for 30 bucks. i still have to drop in the K&N filter in it, so hopefully that will help a little more. it gave me prolly 2 more mpg, but its been 105 every day in georgia since i put it on so its hard to tell. as for the dash bein cracked i hear thats common, and a pain in the *** to fix. thats why i armor all my dash every 4 days. this georgia sun can be brutal.
