You make this job look much less daunting. It's the wiring removal that stresses me out. Can't find any videos of what to unplug. Glad you made this

[@ala-p5629]

I was getting charge $1400.00 to swap the dashboard on my 1996 chevy. Not including what I paid for the one I got. I decided to do it myself thanks to your video, nice job, there is no other like it out there. Thank you.

[@philipwilson9209]

You did an amazing job on this video. I used it as a guide to pull the dash out of my 1995 Chevy Silverado Z71. You didn't miss a thing. I could not get my dash past the steering wheel. I actually broke it while trying. I went ahead and removed the steering column to put it back in. That worked really well, but it's a pain. I have not found a good video on removing and rebuilding the air box. That would be a good addition to this one.

[@Horner181]

I’m about to have to do this as well to get to the air box any tips? I have a 95 z71 as well.Do you have to completey remove it to get to the air box?

[@nickelisio]

I'm in the middle of pulling the dash because I can't get the damned air box back in. All because I wanted the warranty on the AC parts. Tried to replace the accumulator, ripped the hose.

[@burnerloco4138]

I installed thousands of those dashboards when I worked at GM. A lot of the stuff that you removed is all assembled on it the IP line and the whole assembly is installed in one piece. The lower parts are installed after IP is inside cab. Of course the steering column and seats are in stalled afterwards. 👍on the video

Thank you for making this. I would have never even attempted this job without this video. Thanks for taking the time to make this. I watched it three times and almost didnt even try it. Also thanks for mentioning the differences vetween the 1997 headlight connection compared to the 1998 and 1999. You the Man!

[@tonybunch9115]

My dash was really busted up from previous owner. It rattled so much it was so annoying to drive. I went to salvage yard today and pulled the only one they had the color I needed and out of a 99 Tahoe. I made a small mistake though by not being more aware of the vehicle I pulled it from. It was a 2WD so it did not have the electronic wiring harness that was needed to plug in my auto trac 4 WD switch. I ended up having to remove the ventilation duct and removing the wiring harness and reinstalling it on the new dash. Just a note to make sure the vehicle you pull one out of have the same options so that you can plug and play instead of having to do what I did. Video helped a ton. One thing I would note is that I feel like it is not necessary to remove to ash tray and 12 V charging ports. All of those plugs come out with the dash. Thanks again for the video.

[@inlinepaintandbody]

How can I be the man when you're already the man?

[@MrTaxiRob]

@@tonybunch9115 See my comment above. When you have both cores in hand, it's easy to reroute the harness from one to the other. My '99 Burb has the pigtail for the 4WD switch tucked around the instrument panel, even though it's a 2WD truck. I guess GM used a full harness instead of a lite version, but even my '97 donor truck has the same thing. Who knows why they made that choice... was the Tahoe also built in the same plant in Mexico?

[@charlesisbell4340]

At first glace, it looks like a nightmare but after seeing it out, it doesn't look difficult at all. Need to pull mine so I can get started on body work as its getting new paint inside and out. Replace all the components under the dash (blower, actuator, heater core etc) clean it all up, do some preventive maintenance to stop dash cracking before it starts and get the dash cage powder coated as the thought of rust irritates the shit out of me to no end. Right now only two of the little screw holes in the vent up top are cracked (luckily). New din and a half stereo conversion and black everything out. Great video. Saving it for reference.

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Glad you liked the video

[@MrTaxiRob]

What kind of preventative maintenance are you talking about? Are you going to coat them with something, apply a backing material, etc.?

[@charlesstevenson5141]

@@MrTaxiRob Not 100% sure. A layer of carbon fiber or fiberglass on the bottom side has been a thought. I know dynamat and such has the ability to flex so thats out. My dash is near perfect except the center bolt clip on top is broke so I'm going to plastic weld it from the under side and the one towards the passenger side is cracked about half way so it needs intervention as well. After seeing what a brand new dash costs plus shipping of such an item, I want to prolong the life of this one as long as possible. They have those plastic molded tops for badly cracked dashes but I'm not a fan of masking a problem because it would irritate me to no end knowing whats under it is still garbage.

@@MrTaxiRob @ how much would u charge ? Labor if u had to do it for someone else

[@MrTaxiRob]

@@gerardolopez5875 honestly, I'm not a professional mechanic, so I won't even offer a quote. Around me mechanics charge up to $120 an hour, Inline say he did it in 2-3 hours, so that's $360 max.... BUT professionals don't charge for actual time, they charge whatever their labor charts say they SHOULD charge for the job, so it might be a 5 hour minimum or something like that. I think the standardized labor times come from an industry group of manufacturers and insurers deciding on standard rates to make collision and warranty claims easier to manage. They used to have them all listed in actual books, nowadays they're probably all online. So unless you lack the workspace or have a disability that prevents you from doing the work, I highly encourage you to do it yourself and save enough $ for a nice new stereo head unit.

[@MrTaxiRob]

how did it turn out, Mark?

[@johnclyne6350]

I listened & watched 4 other videos on how to remove my glovebox & none have the same mechanism as yours. Mine is like yours. I tried to remove it just like the other folks were showing but mine has that little plastic "stick" on the side of mine. Just like in yours. I need to swap out my resistor as I lost high speed. I got the part at Advance & was going to try & do it but no dice. I'm dealing with all plastic. Plastic is very easy to break in my hands. I wanted to push it but I know I would mangle it. So I stopped before I broke something. I figured the other videos were without that plastic stick in the left hand side. My tool box has a 1 pound hammer & a 3 pound hammer & a sledge hammer. Finesse is not my forte.

[@curly450]

This video doesn't show ALL of what needs to be unplugged tho, I just took mine out today and I released after following all these steps once you loosen the top 3 screws there's still 4 wires on the driver side behind the dash and 3 or is it 4 wires on the passenger side that still need to be unplugged B4 you get to take it out without a problem. Also it works better if you remove the steering column all the way. Although this video was ALOT of help, so thank you for that.

[@ChevelleBro70]

[@inlinepaintandbody]

You should attempt the fix!

[@MrTaxiRob]

I recommend having one of those interior panel clip tools on hand, the forked thingy with the regular screwdriver handle. It's good for gently pulling the push clips for the wiring loom and whichever plug ends are also clipped to the truck. And do it when the dash is nice and warm so they give easy instead of snapping, maybe leave it in the sun an hour or so before you start separating the wiring harness from your donor dash. Piece of cake. Also: REMEMBER TO REINSTALL THE SECTION OF METAL BAR UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN before you try and pull the dash, otherwise the whole thing gets floppy and you're going to snap it in half. Even if you intend to throw it away, it's MUCH easier to pull it and remove the wiring with it in one piece.

[@lylejohnston4125]

Those tools are great,...until you lose it!

[@inlinepaintandbody]

I could describe most OBS repairs as "tedious," but not necessarily "difficult." This is the first dash removal vid that actually shows what need to be unplugged without cutting any wires as a dismantler might do... although why anyone would butcher a perfectly good dash harness just to sell a dash core boggles my mind. That's like cutting a perfectly good transmission in half to pull an engine. If you're doing a same year swap, all the plug ends should be the same including the airbags, so it's easier to leave the harness in place. I have to do a 97-99 swap, so unfortunately that's not the case for me, but at least I'll still have two running and driving trucks when I'm done. I can swap the harnesses with both cores on the bench, easy peasy. One core is mint and the other gets epoxied, one truck is for show and the other is for work. Not everyone can do a destructive removal, so thanks again.

[@inlinepaintandbody]

They still have heavy metal in them. Easy to body work

[@davidcollis4758]

Great and informative video. The fasteners you are calling 7mm are actually 9/32", but a 7mm will work. GM likes to use 9/32" and 7/32" for many of the smaller screws, especially on 60's, 70's, and 80's vehicles, which are what I used to work on. I would like to replace the dash in my '95 Silverado because around the 3 screws by the windshield the dash is cracking causing the dash to rattle and bounce up and down when hitting bumps in the road. Thanks again and take care Buddy.

[@southernprojectsyt6340]

you're doing this job harder than it needs to be. I'll replace the dash in my 98 z71 without getting under the hood. If you had removed the steering column then you'd been able to unplug all of the dash components without having to pull the wiring harness through the fire wall. I have short vids when i replaced the oem dash top having to take the dash out and put it back in in the 04 dodge crew i previously owned. NUFF SAID.

At some point I was folding up the dash and the shift interlock solenoid broke off and fell down to the carpet. I wasn't sure what it was, but figured it out and bought a new one ($90). Also, years ago a friend installed an alarm system, so I had to take my time to figure out the wiring. I took a lot of pictures of the connections I removed and that really helped. I was patient with the wiring and it took me three mornings in the garage (to hot to work in the afternoons) to complete the job. Thanks for taking time to create this video!

Here's the disassembly order I used. A small flat blade screwdriver and one of those interior panel clip tools will be helpful for separating electric plugs and the clips that hold them in place: disconnect battery computer & cradle (just swing it out of the way, no need to unplug but do remove the cradle) breaker/relay box (3 bolts under the fender and one on top) steering column link to lower shaft 5 plugs from top (white plastic) part of of harness (lights, wiper motor, cruise control, plug below brake booster) next is lower dash, from right to left, including the kick panels and fusebox steering column, should only be 3 plugs total including one hidden above it, linkage and shift interlock switch REPLACE the steel tube that supports the column after removal so the dash core doesn't flex and crack during removal gut the top half of the dash except airbag, no need to bother with it if your donor is good SUPPORT the center of the dash before pulling the top bolts and the bolt at each kick panel take a whole hour and maybe smoke a bowl, now you'll probably want help tilt the dash toward the seats and disconnect the three plugs above the column space and all the plugs going to the climate control system on the passenger side fish out the antenna cable and pay attention to how it's routed use your friend to help you lift the whole dash out in one piece very slowly, paying attention to see if you missed any plugs Set about swapping over your fully intact wiring harness to your new dash like a goddamn boss reverse the whole process and buy yourself a steak dinner, you earned it because you just saved a grand in labor

Electrical issues are not my strong suit. I’d start with the easy stuff first. Checking connections and fuses.

[@coreywillhite1270]

The white plug on the far right that’s different between 97/98, can those be cut off and swapped? I bought a 97 harness to go in a 98.

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Probably. Chase the wires back and make sure they're the same

[@coreywillhite1270]

@@inlinepaintandbody Would you happen to have a good harness with the bigger plug on it for sale?

[@willjohnson4489]

Great video, could I transplant my 96 two door dash into my 94 three door?

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Probably different mounting points

[@MrTaxiRob]

there are other vids on YT covering the 94 and back to 95 and up swap.

Alright bro I have a dash from a 97 I’m putting it in my 1990 Chevy but I junk the truck but I decided I might as well swap the whole engine with the harness so I can just plug everything in the same so I bought a 1998 but like you said at 20:34 the plug is different and to the headlights to what can I do?

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Swap headlight harness or get wiring diagrams and re-pin the plugs to make it work. I believe it's all the same wires, colors and all, just different plugs

[@pickafingname]

If you hadn't filmed this how long would the removal process have taken?

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Couple hours. Maybe less now that I've done it

[@frankcabrera6319]

Would a 1998 dash fit a 1995 chevy pickup

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Yeah it should. Only difference I believe is airbag vs cupholders

Thank you for info

I just eliminated the whole plastic dash it's junk and any attempt at replacement is a huge waste of time as the next one will break as well Make a cardboard pattern and water jet a beautiful aluminum T56 dash.

Many of the trim pieces, controls, and connector you took out move with the dash and didn’t have to be removed. Extra work for no reason, but I bet you figured that out afterward. Good video over all.

[@ramonrojas4385]

It’s the connection from a 1998 same as 1999 C1500. You said the connection from a 1997 is circle harness and 1998 it’s a like scare. Just wondering if the connections from a 1998 same as 1999

[@inlinepaintandbody]

It’s probably the same as a 98. If not very similar

[@elvissantiago4140]

I know this video is old so I have to take out the ac system to replace the evap ac cause mine is leaking should I follow exactly these steps or should I go a different route

[@inlinepaintandbody]

If you need the dash fully removed then this is how it's done. It's really not super difficult to remove. Just label and organize your hardware. All the electrical plugs are different so you can't confuse them

[@MrTaxiRob]

I didn't even think to check mine before beginning the dash replacement process. Ugh.

[@taylorkelly1737]

Why dose your cluster say it tops out at 180 is that kilometers?

[@inlinepaintandbody]

This cluster is at 336km I believe

[@49489jm]

What did you do with the connection that was round that wasn’t the same as the other truck ?

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Swapped the dash harnesses so it all matched. Simple to do

[@adanchavez7916]

Question man ! Do i have to remove everything from the dash just so i can replace the top part of the dash cover or can can i just take of the 3 screws and put the new one that im going to order ???

[@inlinepaintandbody]

Yes you have to remove everything just to replace the top dash pad. That pad is one big piece that wraps around the metal frame that's bolted to the firewall
