Thanks so much for the help man, 12 years later and this video is still helping people out
Wow - one of the BEST how-to videos I've seen on youtube. Concise, no blaring music, excellent verbal instructions. I got 80% of it done before I looked for this and glad I didn't start drilling out a bunch of pop rivets. THANK YOU !!
Thank you! We have more Silverado videos coming this summer.
Thank you for this video, well done. Got the dash pulled out of my parts truck in about 90 minutes, with a little help.
Thank you for the good video
I gained some confidence after watching this and just completed the swap out in around 10 hours with cleaning on the weekend on my 1992 Silverado
Awesome upload. It's hard finding any footage on the 93 full size blazer. I need to redo my whole dash but that's a lot of friggin work. I'll just try patching and painting it somehow.
thanks for this video!! i used my iphone to watch it while in the cab removing dash! got to love the interwebs, you probably saved my 6 hours of work and hundreds of dollars!
Thanks for the video. I have mine out now before someone supplied a link to this video.My old one wasn't too bad to get out because it was crispy like a taco shell. This will help when I go back together with one I found at a salvage yard.
man thank you very much even almost ten years later it is still helping people
Thanks for this video it will be really helpful when I go to replace my evaporative core
Thanks much! Your video helped me a bunch in removing my dash.
Thanks for the video. I just made this swap in my 93 today and I can't tell you how helpful this was. I'm not a car guy at all so I referenced this vid through the entire process.
Because it might crack lol
where did you get the replacement?
great video. have taken my 1991 c2500 cheyenne dash apart but never removed. Thank you for the info on how to replace.
Folks this guy did a decent illustration but like every other video they leave important details out it's just like stepping on a booby trap. #1) Completely disconnect your battery these trucks from 91 to 1993 have some really queer cheap wiring behind the dash in for the HVAC actuators/servos and if you do like I did leave a raw wire on metal I almost burnt my truck up. Also make sure the shifter is in 1st gear it helps to get the dash out... A dash removal is lengthy real nightmare because it is so time consuming. Last the front seats on these trucks are so simple to remove this type of project goes so smoothly if you make a little room in a corner of the garage or shed and take the seats out man I made some time while taking apart the donor truck. I always go to these U-Pull it yards and take the donor truck apart first. If you're gonna make a fuck up let it be on the donor truck not yours. And nine chances out of ten that salvage truck will still be apart in the U-Pull it yard should you discover you need something else it's right there all apart in front of ya... No time wasted... When I do a project like this I look for trucks all ready pulled apart and look for what I need. I'll pull all the actuators especially if they look like they've been replaced.
More good tips to consider. thanks for posting.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to share and edit. I realize the actual time for a guy like me will be nearly an all day affair and a whole new string of four letter words but having this will limit the time and possibly reduce some of my creative vocabulary! :-)
It's much harder than what this gentleman shows. Just did mine it's time consuming. Thanks for the video tho
Rub En I think yes because the hardest part is how take off the harness bracket that behind cluster area as it's attached on back off dashboard assembly
@@TheMaghrabiSM I was at the junkyard and I just cut all the damn wires but I don't know how I'm going to do it with my truck
Rub En
I pulled everything he showed and mine still won't come out
It's a bear trying to disconnect the harness behind the cluster. Still haven't found a vid on a specific way to do it😢
Nice video, thanks! I let the wiring harness be mountet to the dash and liftet the dash out with the harness.
I did this once in my 94 obs... lots of work!
I took the whole dash out part by part and recolored it black on my 94 and inside of the roof i changed it to a custom black :) my truck has a nice bronze/carrot looking color and it looks amazing! Still need to do the carpet and seats which are very comfortable 10/10 feels like a bed no joke :) but nice video btw
Nice job now when in the Houston area come and remove mine and put on the new one your the best just let me know when your here. 💯👍🏼😊
is there a way to just leave the bulky part above the instrumental gauges and such out but still have a nice looking dash, or is there an aftermarket dash for a 1993 chevy c3500?
same thing happened to my 93 i just ran new speaker wires and it works fine now.
Finally a no BS video. Thanx !
Have to do this on my 94 sierra to replace the air distribution duct previous owner removed and didnt put back would love a pic of rear of the dash after removal if you have one.
shocked! !! I can't believe how much you have to do to remove the dash!!
I was about to purchase a truck that needs a dash. figured not a big deal. boy I was wrong! good video bud!
Actually I made it a lot more complicated than I needed to I have a new video coming soon on how to remove the dash out of another 93 Chevy truck.
Update on this new video? Much appreciated
@@ScottysDetailing how come you never show how to remove the 2 10 mm bolts behind the cluster.
Great video! How would you go about getting the parking break release handle out? There are two tabs for the parking break release behind the dash, but no amount of squeezing those will get them out. Any ideas?
I have a 94 and got a dash 2 years ago, I was dreading swapping it out and this video really helped me. Thank you so much!
Where did you find your dash ?
@@mava1040 I found it on EBay
@@mava1040 250 bucks
@@martinkaldahl8712 one more question. Was it a real , original , hard dash ? And not a shell ?
@@mava1040 original dash quite a few are available on eBay just make sure you get the right one. The plug for the instruments is different 88-91. And 92-94 have different plugs and they don't interchange
how did chevy not make the dash core in 2 halfs if the top breaks near window easy replace.
You're a life saver man.
Hi: Scotty, this was pretty extensive. The fuse box is where I have a 25 Amp burnt wire. I located it and want to replace it. With the dash out, now all of the wires clearly exposed in the wiring harness there in your video. Thanks. Now, Scotty, do you have any info on matching the color coded wire(s) diagram for each of the fuses to the panel box? The fuses range from highest 30 Amp to 5 Amps. This all I will require to ensure the the damaged wire(s) are replaced by tracing them all to ensure again any damaged ones in my truck in the wiring harness from the fuse panel under the steering column are identified, replaced or repaired. Thank you for this video creation.
Thanks, but HOW did you get the speedo bulkhead pushed through its hole with the defroster duct conveniently wedged in behind it?
I just did this job this morning. To save time, you don't need to remove the steering wheel or the right AC vent. I had the dash out and the heater box removed and disassembled in 2 1/4 hrs. The hardest part of the job is getting the screws out of the back of the dash that hold the wiring harness and the screws that hold the inner molded duct work that blocks the wiring harness. This job is definitely a PITA.
oh end yea u should put a video on how to put it back :) , thanks alot for making this video i learned alot.
This is a great how to video thank you so much
Thank you for video. New dashboard still available in the market assmply.
Great info. Will help me greatly
Great video brother . Getting ready to do a 93 . How's the detailing business ? Thanks
question when u install an amp for a sub where do u run ur power wire thru? because i seen people runn through the passenger fender nd it looks very ugly so is there anoither acess point to feed the wire thru to get to the battery?
Thanks for the video got it out know how do i get it back in it is driving me to the bottle
basic question if i wanted to upgrade a 1993 chevy dash to an earlier model like that of 1996, would the electrical system and basic funtcions of the newer dash work...
Hi. could you replace the dash with a new type from 95 + or 92 - 95 suburban?
I am trying to find a replacement dash because mie is all cracked
do you have any suggestions on where to look for a 93 GMC 1500 dash?
Great video man
Broke the top clips on the radio housing first step. Great.
Where can i find that "stock radio" trim plug or panel. All i find is the pockets. I want to find a panel to eventually make a switch panel. ?
Think you could use a 1982-1985 dash in a 1986 s10?
Is the #2 dash trim panel the correct name for it? I'm asking cuz I need to get mine replaced cuz the bolt holes are all stripped so it won't hold the benzle in place.
I’m no one to bash someone who took the time to make this video for others to see but he is missing a lot more.
I took on this challenge after taking the time to view this demo. There’s a lot more to it involved that I wish I had know. I was I’ll prepared and wished I had know more.
1.) that center Xmas tree in the center ac vent is a mother!!!!!
2.) the plastic dash is riveted to center metal support. You will require to bust out rivers if you want to remove it w out it
3) there’s wiring clipped on difficult to remove easily
I’d go on and on but it’s too much
I appreciate the time someone took but not when it’s completely truthful or complete.
@Louisianamixtapeking can you do a video explaining how to do this ? i have the same problem with my 94 GMC if hes contacted you on how to, or if youve figured it out ? please and thank you
VERY HELPFUL. THANKS
Hey how did you take out th (P)brake plastic and cable off the dashboard? we took out a dash but we cut the cable for the realese of the break to be able to take the dashboar but now we are going to put it on our 1992 chevy pickup 1500 but we don't want to cut it since this is our truck...the other truck was parting out so it wasn't a problem to cut that cable.
Light switch and instrument panel dash trim are one piece.
Any tips on just repairing the top part of the dash where the defrost vents crack all to hell? I am half-prepared to take the dash out but concerned the thing will fall apart leaving me with a bunch of puzzle pieces... Thanks and excellent video :)
Also I think my dash is cracking because it's pretty loose... kind of curious?
Very good video 👍
@ScottysDetailing....The dash and door panels was changed in 95, but yes most of the other trim was unchanged.
@ScottysDetailing This is a great video but the only thing is i got a 1999 gmc sonoma i redoing my whole interior from a beige colour to a jet black and im also smoothing it out but my problem is idk how hard it is to remove the airbag out on the passenger side in order to remove the dash if you could help me out id greatly appreciate it
found a mint dash in a 94 burban im going to replace my beat up cracked dash in my 91 c1500 using your video .
93 1500 forgot to remove neg battery before removeing a lot of the dash .I got to the instrument cluster an pulled it out a little an at the bottom it has like a little slinky type cord thatgot pulled on.im wondering if i set off a kill switch or something an the truck wont start when im thru.as well im wondering in my truck the factory radio thats over the cooling controls seems like its soldered in once you remove the cover icant get the dash hood off. i dont want to cut the wires an resolder
Would the same unscrewing apply to a 1993 Chevy Caprice?
Awsome video thanks
Will the wiring harness from a 91 hook up to a 97 dash.
could'nt hear aword you said. valiant effort.
Does anyone know if all the dashes from different years of these trucks are compadible and fit each other ven tho they could be a year older or younger will they fit?
great video.
I actually just did this to my 94 Silverado. I swapped out the blue for the grey. All I did was 1st drop the steering wheel. unscrewed the screws along the windshield and the 2 main nuts on the right and left door sides. The whole Dash just swung down away from the windshield (pivoting on the 2 bolts on the left and right bottom door sides.) Un-did the wiring and pulled it right out.
Much easier than undoing all those little screws.
Jon Clark where'd you find a new dash? I cant seem to find one for my 93
I have one for you!!
A 93 dash
ScottysDetailing how much are you offering it for haha
+alpha wolf- it needs a little work I could let it go for $150
Hi, do you know where to buy a dashboard of my chevy C1500 year 94?
good video
Do you have to remove the steering wheel
Wow! How do you get to the "wiring harness" bolts behind the dash, behind the instrument cluster 2x10mm? I have also found, that one has to remove the trim strips (R&L) where the bottom 15mm bolts hold the dash to the chassis. Looks like the gauge cluster wiring harness might be a bear to thread back into place. I appreciate the video. Thanks.
After spending much time on my dash removal and hvac repair, I am convinced that the factory attached the wiring harness to the dash before installation.
How many labor hours are involved in removal and reintalling and what's the hourly rate for a project like this?
Hey Scotty.Is that just a cowl assy., W/O a cab? And a hood hung there for effects? Sure has a lot of lighting, and no rear window, or framing in view of the camera.
Anyway, thanks for the video. Good info.
where can i get a complete dashbored on my 1994 chevy silverado Z71
I ran mine thru the steering column theres a black cover and it looks clean,, 2006 Silverado...
I have a 94 and a 95. Can these dashes be interchanged? I want to put the 95 into the 94. No air bags involved in either truck.
I wish i had seen this before I removed my dash? Did you say mark the wires?
Anyone one know a good site to buy a new dash for that same year and model?
Salvaged perfect dashboard took me 37 min . No cutting of any harness or damage to other good equipment
🙄
Can you make a vid removing the stuff under dash because I east to do a full restoration on my 93 1500
how did the ash tray door come out?
Hey i installed a new battery and now my radio/deck now longer has power!?! Its set up in the space in the middle below the vents like yours. I checked for blown fuses but found none. Any ideas? thank you.
How do you remove the parking brake handle?
Will this dash swap to a 97 sierra?
Could you tell me where the PCM or ECM is on a 93 Suburban?
I was wondering how would you remove the dash trim more specifically cause im trying to pull out the factory radio and put in a after market radio and it will be real helpful if you could assist me a little
LMC Truck doesn't sell this years style dash does it?
How long did it take you to replace that because they took everything apart in my van and been working on it 16 hours and still aint done?
hola tengo una silverado 93 y quiero cambiarle todo el tablero por el que trae la 98 se podra cambiar sin tantas complicaciones?
Where can I get a full replacement dash?
do you cut keys!
I have too much slack on shifter wire Indicator after connecting it back to the instrument cluster to the steering column and I know it wraps around the side of it so that when you shift down it pulls it over but I have an inch or 2 when everything is in correct possition
+1youngprod try attaching the rectangle metal piece farther on the steering column that way there is no slack at all
disconnect the battery. remove your steering wheel. this is crucial for a smooth experience but does not require it to actually be removed. be warned. the job will be insanely more difficult if you do not remove the steering wheel. remove your instrument cluster. remove the top 5 screws (1 behind the left speaker, 1 behind the right speaker - 3 above/in the window defroster vent) / remove the two bolts under the dash located at each corner of the cab. one on the driver side and one of the passenger side. these are somewhat hidden but are right on the edge of the dash. remove your hood latch release and any other accessories located next to it. remove the single screw holding the bracket down that is housing/holding the radio thing. this is located next to the floor vent on the left side. i don't know what its called. all i know is the radio connects to it. you will also need to remove this radio junction box thing. now, push the tabs on the fuse box and push it back. do the same for the instrument cluster connector. dont forget to pop the parking brake lever cable off. the dash should now slide/TILT forward. don't let it tilt all the way. let it tilt forward and now unbolt and release all the wires. your dash is now free. it's a lot easier than it seems and takes about an hour.
hey ***** would it be possible to fit a newer 95+ dash on my 93? i can figure out the wiring but will the mounts fit the same?
yes
Does anyone know where to find a complete dashboard for a 92 GMC ? My dashboard is falling to pieces , its just about to fall completely off. Im located in Dallas , TX
He leaves out one important part ! when you take out the dash cluster there is a plug behind it , getting that plug out is nearly impossible & getting it back in can be even harder , but If your just looking for the way to take out the heater A/C box to replace the cores & blower motor all you need to do is unbolt the side dash mount bolts and the top of dash bolts and unplug some of the wires by the glove box and pull the dash out and down then hang the right side of the dash up by the sun visor mount to get the dash out of the way then work on the box to remove the box , just watch the wires . take pictures as you go so u can back track if you need help to reassemble it , It's not that hard just remember to take your time and remember what you've done !
So true, thank you for your input! much appreciated!😎
steven anderson I need to replace the A/C evaporator and I suppose might as well the heater.. So are you saying it is possible to remove the a/c evaporator without removing the whole dash which also involves the steering wheel? Just need to remove/replace the A/C can it be done simply?????? buffalodiesel@gmail.com
is gettig to the heater core on a 94 different than on a 96? when I did my the one in my 96, I was able to get to it by unbolting the cover underneath near the floor. no need to even touch the dash. i thought it was wasn't neccessary to remove dash until 99. i'm pretty sure my 94 is same way, but I really havent looked at it since I've only had it couple months and it warm out.
Price to get someone to restore this model truck ?
Is it very hard to get back in
My dash is in pieces, I'm looking for a replacement. Could you point me in the right direction?
Where are you getting these bolts size. There are no bolts that are 18mm
I heard him say 17mm, and at one point I thought he said 8mm.
I’ve never seen so many 8mm bolts in a Chevy dash! My 94 does not have 17mm bolts in the dash at all and mine has pretty much all 7mm in it
bro,you are the fuckin' man! i tried doing this myself when i first bought my truck and gave up afterwards because it got too heavy. after watching this video i'm more confident to knock this out as my weekend project coming up. thanks for the vid!
What they didnt show is that you have to unbolt the heater it runs through the firewall and connects to the dash otherwise its not coming out. Also their are two bolts behind gauge panel the are actually behind thr dash itself they must be removed as well
Steering column bolts are 15mm
