Watched this video last night and it made pulling the dash out of the donor truck at the salvage yard today insanely easy...also had the entire yard staff in shock when I had the entire front clip removed and dash out in under an hour...

[@itsmigz559]

Bro. Thank you so much for this video. F350 came in for ac not working and I knew I was gonna have to pull the dash. Was dreading it. This video definitely helped me get an idea of what I’m getting into and how easy it can be. Thank you for your video.

[@jlev505]

Thank you for the information and the video. I’ll be pulling my dash and installing sound deadening. This makes it soooo much easier. Keep the videos coming!

Thanks for the info. Will save me a lot of time and aggregation when I do my swap next month

Good Video, got me thinking of My 2013 Ford E250 Blower issue, Vacuum canister is a common culprit, most leave Bad one buried in Dash as it must be the first thing installed on the Vehicle. Rather than removing Air Conditioning System, seems this way may be doable? Any thoughts on that, Thanks

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Thanks. I have personally watched this video like 10 times. LOL

[@manuelester7420]

Wow. I don't have access or heat and live in a Astro van. 😁 I want to totally remove my dash board and remove all air ducts and build a counter with drawers that lock, to keep tools and oil and spray cleaners. But the part of the dash with the gauge clusters behind the wheel I want to keep, but eliminate everything above the doghouse and to the right of it. Can it be done?

[@autohosh72]

Great video without a bunch of nonsense like other videos. Thanks for not telling a story 🤣

[@KF422TX]

I noticed someone ask if this was the same for 99-07 dashes. I think it is. But the physical swap isn't the hard part, it's the electrical. I'd love to do a 08-10 swap into my 07. It's the electrical part that makes me think its not worth it.....knowing which wire goes where

[@juanvillarreal6688]

After you remove the dash will I need to do any reprogramming or ?

[@scottlambeth]

I feel like this might be the easier way to replace my passenger side blend door actuator... just having a hard time wrapping my head around pulling the whole dash out, haha

How difficult is it to reinstall the dashboard? Im thinking it is difficult to get everything aligned?

[@italosuarez8641]

How much time did you spent

[@americaninfidel9001]

Thx

[@billklingensmith7241]

Would removing the dash like you showed be an easier way to access the blend doors? I have warm air on the drivers side when running the heater but cold air on the passenger side and suspect it to be a blend door issue. My wife sure would appreciate getting this fixed.

[@Jimmyziggy]

I would assume so. You may be able to get at it behind the glove box but i’m not certain on the 08+ trucks

[@Jeff-zc9jv]

​@@Jimmyziggy If you watch some of the videos on how to get to a blender door or blender door actuator I'm sure you might see that it's often a very time consuming task. I watched a video where they spent over 5 hours. You removed the dash, the main obstacle in less than 30 minutes 😮

[@davidhodge3894]

Cool

[@stevemountt7322]

Great vids, thanks. Your links to dash swaps are dead links. does it make a difference if it is 7.3 diesel swap?

[@Jimmyziggy]

Sorry about the dead links i’ll work on getting those fixed. But if you want to find the videos just scroll back in my channel to april/may/june 2020 they should be there. Gas vs diesel is pretty much the same concept when it comes to swapping the dashboard so it’s the same stuff pretty much

[@alholme3398]

Any luck with your swap , if so can you give me some advise as I'm looking to do the same

[@screamindemon811]

Yup not a whole lot different from what a dealer does except they have a little crane type thing that almost looks like a one you'd pull a motor with and its can be operated by one guy.. Saw the dealer use it when my Dad had issues with his dash, and Ford decided after the 4th attempt failed to fix to replace the whole thing, had it in and done in just over an hour and a half after they reprogrammed modules etc to match the VIN...but yup I have seen guys pull part dashes and 3 days later they are still pulling there hair out and trying to get it all out... lot easier the way your doing.Sure some guys that are doing something like this are going to appreciate the info, not a lot of videos that detail it like you did

[@Jimmyziggy]

Screamin Demon Thank you 🤙🏼

[@shiniquajones2812]

I wonder if this would work on 2017 expedition

[@elferebilliot5940]

You got to think like this with any dash..at the factory that dash was installed completely assembled. So if it will go in complete it can come out the same way..

[@JimBrown-pi6ni]

I need to replace the passenger side blend door, looks like removing the entire dash gives me a front row seat to it, can you tell me if the blend door is sitting right there on top of the heater box when you remove the dash? This video is a BIG help, thank you!

I got to my blend door by just removing the air bag.. qlot easier than removing dash
