Hey guys, my truck was recently broken into, and they broke the dash, it fits back on, but it is all loose. I dont know if I could fix that, or if I can just get a new dash and install it, any suggestions? and which dashes would fit without too much modification.

 

We need a picture of the damage to give advice. I have a spare dash but its green.

well if you drive a taco, you are asking the wrong people. If you eat a lot of taco's ...then that is funny, and I still don't know what year your truck is so I have no basis to start off.

 

according to his profile he has a 94 ranger... i would try and get a used one from a junkyard... should be cheap for a older truck like yours... any dash from 89 through 95 should be the same

 

I looked but i missed that part. my bad. So he must eat a lot of taco's lol

Any dash from a 89-94 Ranger or Explorer should swap directly.

I believe 95 was the year that they switched to the new ( current ) dash. I may be wrong. Also these dashes will swap into the older trucks but with some wiring differences ( read: headaches)

 

Does anyone have a how to in order to take off the dash, or give me a list or something like that, I think just replacing the whole thing is the way to go. I need some pics or something. Oh yeah, it is a 94 Ranger. Oh yeah, I forgot, yes I do eat a lot of Tacos. lol

 

i would get a haynes or chiltons book from the auto parts store those have pretty good directions for removing the dash

 

my radio bezel (i think thats what its is called, the whole piece with vents etc) is loose since i got broken into too. everyone in the junkyards around here seem to be loose too. i take off hard and it sticks out about a cm on one side.

 

Mine hasn't been broken into but when I go to put it back on I take a thin screwdriver/pliers and pulls the tabs out on the clip to make it fit tighter . . . something to try.
