So I have searched some and from what I read you just unplug the speedo cable on an 88? I have tryed several times can't seem to get it off its the last thing holding my dash in.Anyone have any advice or am I doing it wrong by chance?Or do I just need to keep tryn? :mad:

I just did this and it was kind of a bit#h at first but it did come off. Climb underneath and locate your speedo cable on the transfer case. There is some slack in it, enough that you can push the cable up and forward to move that slack to the gauge cluster. Then you should be able to reach in behind, and with some pliers squeeze the two little plastic tabs together and pull on the white plastic part of the cable...should come right off.

 

The other option is to disconnect the cable at the transfer case...but you shouldn't have to.

 

When putting it back together make sure you get the little square end into the square hole...on both ends.
