read my post above to find out why. i read your post and that alliance would make sense. chyrsler would get some financial help and gm would finally get some design help. theyve been building butt ugly cars and box on wheels trucks for years. .

tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net stated which i commented on below thanks tom. i figured it out after the fact. the way this truck is you have to take apart the center console to take the backing trim plate out that covers those two screws. dammit.... they went stupid again. i was pleasantly surprised that the dash in my 03 was about the easiest one to work on that id seen/owned. it sounds like they hired a ford designer for the newer trucks.... idiots. lol! it was probably someone they wooed over from ford for some reason! .
