Vehicle Fitment (YMM)
| Years | Make | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1981–1993 | Dodge | Pickup (D/W 100–350 / “1st Gen” Ram) | Fits square-body trucks; verify dash style and accessory layout before cutting |
If your dash, ECU, or accessory layout differs from typical ’81–’93, send us photos and we’ll confirm details before you cut.
Key Specs

Check the product page for the exact bill of materials for your selected configuration.
Installation
- Difficulty: Intermediate (dash cutout + wiring + HVAC integration)
- Dash Cutout (panel opening): Mask a 1.5″ × 4.5″ area; mark from the provided dimensions; measure twice, cut once. Cut undersize and file to a precise fit so the panel doesn’t shift
- Panel Mounting: Install face through the opening; locate the control PCB from behind; hand-snug screws, then add ~½ turn—do not over-tighten
- Wiring: Plug the control harness into the panel and the Gen 5 ECU; tie the tan backlight wire into dash lamps for illumination
- Diagrams: Use the Gen 5 wiring diagram for connections; mount fuses near the battery; route wiring cleanly away from heat/motion points
- Final Checks: Verify blower, mode, and temp functions; confirm A/C annunciator and backlight operation; test defrost/heat blend
Cutting the dash opening precisely is key to a factory-clean look. If your truck’s wiring has been modified, validate circuits before splicing. Ask us about FFS Professional Installation services.
