Yup

Pretty simple.

1)Fill fuel tank FULL
2)Make sure you do this when truck is COLD ,first thing in the morning is best.
3)Take a digital picture of instrument cluster with key in RUN position,otherwise your drawing a picture of all the gauge pointers.
4)Put shift lever in 1st after setting E-brake.
5)Remove bezel by pulling firmly in corners
6)Put back in park remove key,...ding...ding... must be driving you nuts by now.
7)Remove 4 7mm screws holding IC in place.
8)Pull forward enough to manipulate plug from back of cluster,can be stubborn.
9)Bring inside and let warm to room temp.
10)Remove clear plastic shield by carefully prying out the clips on the backside,carefully, take your time.
11)Use special tool to take pointers off .
12)Use special tool to help remove stock overlay and a blow dryer heating assist in removal.
13)Take your time centering the new overlay.
14)Take out to truck plug it in and put key in RUN position.
15)Set gauge pointers using drawing and or pictures and unplug.
16)Finish inside WARM assembly.
17)Reinstall in dash.


See my Pictures for some details,I think thats about it.


Take your time it is a easy job.
