    Are there any detailed threads about removing the dash in a 2005? Need to replace AC evaporator, need help for around the steering column area on what to unbolt. Found a youtube vid for a 2006, regular Ram, but the SRT seems to be very different under the steering column.

    Got the info I needed from the FB group! There are 4 bolts holding the steering column in, then 2 right next to the front steering bolts that hold the dash on to the support structure mounted to the firewall. Just undo the 4 for the steering column, and the 2 for the dash...support structure bolted to firewall stays in place.

    Quick question. Once you removed the dash, does it give you access to remove the cluster glass? Somehow, a previous owner got some type of liquid on the inside of the glass, and I have no way to remove and clean it.

    No, just pull the cluster by itself, then remove the plastic lens (like 4 screws holding it on).

    Its a little easir to get out after you remove the bezel from the cluster to the radio.
    Towel on 4way button as you tilt it out.
    The lens for the cluster is actually a seperate piece
