2004 RAM 2500 Quad Cab, Dash Cover Replacement 

Thank you @jackhammerproductions

We eyy¹​@@tekmotorsports4052

Awesome! Cracked dashes suck.

Going to see how the truck is..I believe I can bypass all this work😧but if I see it's pretty bad then I well have to do this.. to save you money... But you well need to waste a bit of money.. trust me it's worth it... Invest into ceramic film tint.. can go 70 ceramic tint.. pretty much stock windshield.. no tint no darkness in other words from the outside.. inside well be clear.. and say this because you well feel 95% of those uvs days completely off your face and body.. only thing I got today for cheap on Facebook.. was the small panel for the very back of the dash and 2 extra pieces of the radio concel. . But well need new parts in order to get that piece installed with it.. and get a upgraded stereo to a touchscreen and a huge quality backup camera. Since I well be going super dark all around in ceramic which is clearer view compared to crappy tint.... Got bad luck... Not even a month in and got brand new headlights for the ram 03.. LEDs installed... And was planning to get 1000 headlights.. turns out those expensive ones once they burn out.. whole new set is required which is risky if you need it the next day.. shipping and all that plays a big part for the headlights why I just went with basic lights... So some idiot backup.. and dented the very corner of the truck. And cracked the headlights..

@@chinito20fam 👍 Good luck.

Yeah, he was super happy it was finally replaced.

@tekmotorsports4052 yeah mine needs done too. It's in an 03 so probably the same PIA to get it done. I just rebuilt a complete HVAC module out of a wrecking yard truck. I'm going to change that out soon so was thinking it would be a great time to upgrade the dash as well. I was thinking of covering mine in a cowhide. Maybe a Holstein or Bristol. Just a though

@@hey_youtubeim_back2159 Nice! Good luck and good that you’ll be replacing it now.

Awesome! My father-in-law is still super happy we found an actual cover instead of that overlay.

Agreed. The real pain in the rear was the 2nd generation trucks. The new 2 piece dash cover made this so much easier and I'm so happy you don't have to yank out the whole dash assembly. I've done it before, and it suuuuucks

That’s great news. Glad it was able to help you out.

Oh man…. I hope for your stake it doesn’t crack when at the dealer. Hoping they have a sneaky way to remove the airbag without messing around a lot with the dash panel.

My father-in-law has not complained about any rattles. And he is very particular.

@@tekmotorsports4052 awesome! After this I went out side to look at my vents again to see what I could do to not pull the dash out and I stuck some padding between the big square ducts and the smaller tube ducts and then zip tied them together.. seemed really stout so I’m gonna cross my fingers and throw it back together. I don’t think it will rattle now!

Thank you for watching the video.

@@tekmotorsports4052 you welcome

You have to remove the whole dash assembly. Once it’s out, you’ll have access to the screws.

Thanks, LMCtruck.Com

Clips… well. Looking through the video again to a refresher I only talked about are the ones on the end cap of the drivers side dash. Where I used a red plastic clip tool to remove. All others “clips” are part of each panel. Unless you’re looking for the metal clips that snap on the plastic taps on each panel. Something like these?

@YOANDRYG LMCtruck.com is where we bought both pieces but not sure if it’s a kit or can be bought separately.

I wanna say it took me about 5hrs to complete the project.

Slate grey

Ah man… not an evaporator. The whole dash assembly will have to come out for that. What do you need help with?

Yes, it should be as gen3 trucks are from 2002-2008/2009

Yes 02-05 1500 and 03-05 2500/3500 use the same dashes, in 06-09 1500,2500,3500 they changed the dash completely to a different style dash. You can change the dash out and swap them around 02-09 but to put a 06-09 dash is n you have to use the hole dash as a complete unit.. Hope it helps..
