Where do I start to take a radio out of my Dodge Ram?

Recently I asked about a bad radio in my Dodge Ram. The answer was to replace it. I am grateful for the answer, but where does one begin? Do you have to take out the whole dash or is there a simple pop out part that reveals some screws to loosen?|||the bezel around the radio just pops out after you remove the screws from the cup holder bracket and the ash tray bracket,but be careful doing this ,then there's two screws that hold the radio in,once they are removed then you pull out wards on the radio and unplug the wires from it and remove the ground strap from the back of it,on the drivers side of the bezel piece of trim there a few hidden screws that you have to remove also,just take your time with it,if it feels like its in bind at any time stop and look for hidden screws,it takes about 20 minutes to change one of those out,good luck,|||your very welcome.

|||Try to locate a shop manual for your truck. You may get lucjy and find one at a library (Chilton's) or you may have to buy one. I got one for my car on ebay, the whole manual was a PDF on cd for $10. A reg manual will be ~$50.|||you have to take part of the dash apart but becareful there is alot of stuff you can break|||It can't be a big deal, and most newer vehicles use pop out clips without any screws on the bezel. Once thats off there will be 4 screws on newer rams
