Just a warning for anyone, yellow plugs are airbag plugs, I'd recommend disconnecting the batteries and letting the system sit for 5 to 10 minutes before messing with them.

Getting back to you just to be safe. I've been getting a place ready to do the job my shop is full of quads, bikes and other things. Basically been putting this monster off. But, I live in central Oregon outside of Bend and we have been getting some elevation snow and my car doesn't cut it in winters here. Wide tires and no clearance are the wrong receipt. Today started on what I remembered from watching you video, the first time but had to come in then re-watched it. Now to go out and do more. I'm working solo as well. The actual job I am doing is I am replacing my wiring harness. Flooded the truck, should have let it to dry more but started and drove instead. After 3 miles everything was going crazy. Horns blaring, lights flashing, seats moving, my truck was possessed. lololol. started repairing wires but no way too many burnt. What I was wondering if you knew was that I probably do need to take whole dash out right? aient no short cuts here? I'm not a mechanic but can handle lots of things. Just put whole new suspension, about 20 pieces, on my car. It was scary at first but wasn't too bad a job. If i did it again it'd take less than one day. Just lots of ball joints and big bolts. This job though?!?!?!?!? oh Jesus! I should just get another truck right??? JK. Love my truck. Once again I don't know you but I'm using you for info so thx. if you were close, I'd pay for help. Any response? @@JeepinJimmy

I did this on my '01 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport about three years ago. I also bought the dash from LMC, and the ABS plastic seems to be of much better quality than the OEM. A few things to note. I would definitely recommend a helper when removing the dash. Not so much because it is heavy, but because the remaining plastic is so brittle. The plastic frame where the a/c control panel is at cracked in several different places. I had to use JB weld, wood, old plastic parts, and some ingenuity to keep it all together (thanks, DaimlerChrysler, for making such a crappy dash!). So the helper comes in handy when lifting the dash and not adding extra stress on the already brittle parts. The helper will also help you save your back. Again, the dash isn't all that heavy but trying to pick it up and twisting and turning in such a cramped place could cause you to hurt your back. Save your back, everyone! Other than that, excellent video in that it is short, to the point, and isn't filled with annoying music. P.S. I am going to look into replacing the headliner which I will also be buying from LMC. I wish LMC would make the overhead console for these trucks. The plastic they (DaimlerChrysler ) used on the consoles is also very weak and brittle (Again, thank you DaimlerChrysler!).

Great video! I've watched other videos concerning this topic and they are all a little vague while not showing everthing you need to do. Even the LMC Truck video leaves things out. Your description of each step is clear and the video shows exactly what you're talking about. A couple years ago, I was doing a full detail on my garage kept 1998 Ram SS/T and found a crack coming from the bolt hole nearest the passenger side A-pillar. I've never seen one start cracking there. I felt like crying since I've babied my truck since new. The crack isn't terrible yet, but it's getting worse. I guess I will order a panel and do this job this winter. If I can do the plenum plate/gasket repair, this should be a breeze.

That was a really great video. Well done. I paid someone to do this for me on my '98 about 10 years ago. The problem is the '98 is a one-year-only instrument bezel and they are no longer available anywhere. You can get 94-97, and 99-01/02, but not '98. The difference lies in the size of the hole for the headlight switch. '98 used the old switch in the new dash so the hole is smaller than the '99-up as those used the new rotary knob headlight switch. The newer bezel would look awful, showing the screws and dash structure. It could be updated to the newer style, but it would require a donor truck--you'd need the dash support, the wiring connector, the bezel, and probably some wiring. I just live with the crack in the bezel. 🤣

Thanks for the video. Used this to replace the dash in my neighbor’s 01 that I do the work on when he wants me to. I didn’t see any pointers for automatics, so I’ll list them here. - chock the wheels before working. The reason being, when you go to lower the steering column, you will move the column around and it will pull the transmission out of park and into any of the other gears. You should also have the parking brake set, but even that won’t really help because once you start moving the dash, the parking brake bar will be tugged and you’ll lose that also. So, chock the wheels before starting. - Move the automatic shifter down into 1st gear before trying to remove the dash trim panel. - don’t forget to disconnect the automatic trans indicator cable from the cluster before dropping the steering column. Other than that I think all of the manual trans details apply, other than the airbag module being easier to remove in the autos because it’s just a simple 2 screw cover over it whereas it’s the whole Shifter trim assembly on manuals. Not a bad job but my neighbor’s truck had an aftermarket remote start and alarm hard-spliced to both the dash harness and the engine harness, so I had to do cutting to get the dash back out and resplicing to get everything working again. That was a major pain. Also, the neighbor has a pretty elaborate amp and speaker setup and so I had lots of added speaker and RCA cabling tethered to the dash as well that had to be pulled out of the way. I probably could have done this job in half the time with a lot less frustration had the truck still been stock.

I have a medium size crack across the top of the dash in my '01 Ram 2500. I was considering replacing it. After watching this video, I have decided there is no way in !@#$ that I'm replacing it by myself!! 😝 Awesome video though!! You got a like & subscribe from me, Jeepin Jimmy!

Just bought a 2001 1500 the dash is completely rotten! Just saw your detailed video. I wasn’t planing to remove the entire dash to replace the top part but do you say it’s best to , all those wires look confusing lol just don’t want to ruin it 😂

@JeepinJimmy Жыл бұрын
Congrats on the truck! If you do just the cover, you will not be able to get access to the screws holding the defrost vent to the dash. But one good thing is all the wires have different plugs so nothing would get plugged into the wrong place if you did decide to pull the whole thing out!

The previous owner changed the board for my ram but now it doesn't have the VIN. Could it be that it stayed on the old board?
@JeepinJimmy
@JeepinJimmy 4 ай бұрын
That could be the case! I didnt realize the vin was attached when I junked mine so now this truck does not have the vin tag on the dash.

Aliexpress makes a custom made dash cover with just a little fuzz for a custom look. It's only about 20 bucks. You can reinforce the top of the dash with good old duct tape before you do the lay over

I need to do my dash. Im debating between a skin and a new pad. Mainly because the dash where the bezel clips is all sorts of broken. Would this solve for that? Maybe more intimidating than it should be.

This would solve that, it also comes with new metal retainers. I think it was worth it even though there is a bit more work involved!
