Hello all, I drive a 92 1500 Pickup 2wd, and I want to take the dash out of it to repair some cracks in it that it has accumulated over the years....I have taken the glovebox, radio, gauge cluster, just about everything out including the two 13MM bolts underneath of the dash, but it is still being stubborn and will not come out....it will move from front to back but just won't come out....behind the gauge cluster it looks like there are rivets or something holding the dash down....Im not sure if that is what is stopping it or not....Need help getting very frustrated with the whole thing :devil: ....thanks..

Did you take the 7mm screw along the top of the dash out?

You have the steering column out right?

 

I think the main stereo component under the dash had a bracket that attached to the dash also. That could be holding you up. It has been forever since I took a dash out of a 88-94.

YOU'RE RIGHT! There is a bracket that held the amp unit to the dash and the firewall....there also should be screws that hold the HVAC ducts up to the dash if I remember correctly

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2020 are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.   The recall engines 2021-2024 are serviced with 12740076.     What the difference is between the two, I'm not sure, but 2019-2020 only show 19420611 as the replacement engine p/n.

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
