In order to get to the heater core you will have to remove the dash. If your Dodge is like mine and I am assuming that you are wanting to replace your heater core because it is bad then it will take a lot to get this job done. First you need to drain your system of coolant, remove your negative battery cable. The dash has different kind of fasteners. It is held in place with screws and clips.

I'm checking it out to see if I really will have to do this. If you are still in need of help you can e-mail me to see where I am at on the replacement of my heater core.
