Hello all, I am getting ready to get a new stereo for my 02 Ram quad and just doing my homework. If I understand it correctly the dash plate around the factory installed radio and AC/Heat panel just snaps off, and I mean snap an in suppose to not snap as in Break I don't really want to have anything coming apart in peaces. Anyone who has done this before and has some helpful hints it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John

Just gently pull it off. It helps to put the truck in neutral so you can get it over the shifter...if its an auto that is.

I found the easiest way in my 01 is to start on the left side of the steering column down near the bottom. I cna usually get my fingers in uder the dash and then slowly work my waya round. Yes you are correct it is just a snap on dash. It can be tight but don't worry after doing it a few times it gets easier. after you get your dash off you might need a socket set or a wrench I forgert the size though. My truck came from a used dealer with an aftermarket radio in it.

If its the new dash style then there is one screw above the little hanger thing on the lower right of the dash, once that is out the dahs just unclips. I can't remember if the piece around the radio comes out of the dash, its prolly easier just to take the entire front of the dash off
