Dashboard Install

[bablurp]

Just got a pricing on a dashboard from LKQ and I was satisfied. Seeing as I have never installed a dashboard I decided to go the professional route and get quotes..... Bad bad. It ranges from 450 to 600. Can someone direct me in the right direction so I can install this. I can probably install this at work over a weekend given the right instructions and provided I have the right tools.

Thanks

P.S. It's a 1996 2dr Tahoe

Get yourself a subscription to alldata for the specific year. if it was in the service manual it should be in alldata. Frankly I do not think dash board info is absolutely needed for every individual though. :IMO:
