does anyone know how to remove just the top part of the dash? i have a 97 1500 and i cant figure out how to get just the top part off...not the trim but the very top, i got all the screws off under the winshield and all the ones that are covered by the trim on the front, am i missing something?

 

If I remember correctly, you have to tear down half the dash to get the top off. It's around a 7-9 hour job...start to finish.

Taken from one of the threads at DTR........

You have all the screws on the top of the dash that must come out. I Think 6 screws
2 bolts at the bottom of the dash at the kick panels.
1 bolt in the center of the dash above the tranny hump.

Pull you stereo out there is one screw under the dash back by the def ducts... a really pain in the rear-end to get.

Two bolts that hold the steering column. Let it drop to the seat. (If you have a auto - unhook the string to the PRND21 pointer...)

Now get in and lift the dash up about 1 inch and pull foreward a bit to relase the mounting hooks at the bottom...


Not sure if that's all of the steps or not.
