Can anyone tell me how to remove the dash pad on my 2001 Ram?

not sure as to what you are referring to as the dash pad but if your talking about the part that goes around all the radio, vents, and speedometer and thigns it is quite easy. All you need to do is get behind it and pull carefully. It is only on there with plastic clips. I find it easiest to start on the drivers side by the vent to the left of the steering wheel.

No, I'm talking about the large dash pad above the dash trim you are reffering to.

oh hm....not sure then sorry
