Years ago I opened the dash on my 1978 F250 to fix the dash lights. The
plastic back panel that held it all together disintegrated into little
particles as I slid it forward and all the gages and bits and pieces
rained out on the floor like hail stones. My fight reflex kicked in and
I watched in slow motion as they bounced up and down a couple times
before normal time kicked back in. I sat there stun. Maybe even a
little bit in shock with my jaw hanging open as I held the empty shell
and front of the dash panel. I drove it with a lonely little
speedometer resting unsecured in a gigantic cavern until finally I just
gave the truck away.

Seriously I had been fixing it up. Rebuilt engine. Rebuilt tranny.
New Headman headers and exhaust.. New brakes. Big old 4 barrel sitting
on top of that 460. Oversized 35 gallon fuel tank in the back. Frame
mounted helper pump. New tires and wheel. I just gave it away.

All the heart was just taken right out of me. I am not sure I've had
the dash out of a car or truck since. The front of an FLHT or FLRI
fairing doesn't count. The dash stays in place on those.

I just bought a new headlight switch module and transfer case switch
module for the 07 2500HD. I'm going to take the dash off, pop the
modules out, and replace them. I just ordered the parts from LMC Truck.

If I come back in a week or so offering to sell a truck for the low low
price of free ninety five you will know it went no better than last time
I pulled a truck dash apart.

I've looked at a couple videos first this time. Looks like the front
dash panel comes off with clips. Lower the steering wheel and shifter
out of the way and carefully pop it off and try not to break any of the
clip pockets. If I feel particularly brave I might setup a camera in
the back seat so you guys can see a grown man cry if it doesn't go well.

I pulled the dash from my '91 Ford Ranger once and hoped I'd never have to
again. The factory shop manual was a considerable help.

I've had the dash of my '86 GMC off a few times for various repairs ,
and am faced with it again . This time for a fan switch on the heater
control . The hardest part on this one is pulling the aftermarket radio
mount sleeve . Today I'm considering pulling the big box speaker from
behind the seat and reinstalling the stock speakers . A lot easier task
than pulling the dash apart .

Just pre-emtptively order the new dash from LMC at the same time. It
will all but guarantee the original will not break - - - -
