Ford F150 - Get to speedometer and gauges

My truck is 11 years old and over the years it has accumulated dust and crud behind the little plastic thing and i would like to vaccuum it out and make the inside look new. any help?

have to pull entire cluster out, behind you will find little screws that will allow you to take off plastic face, Just did that 2 weeks ago, its not hard just time consuming.

In order to get the cluster out, pop off the two trim peices that run horizontal about in the middle of the dash on each side of the steering collumn. They just pop off, and there are screws behind them. Then take off the headlight knob and check above the cluster for screws, I forget if there are any more up there. Then, do as Mike says. It's pretty simple once you get in there. Oh yeah, if you have dual tanks, don't forget to plug the switch back it or it won't start.

and don't force the headlight knob to much, i still haven't gotten mine back on from when i had to take it off! that was ummmm, about 8 months ago. i think i might have broke something oh well, doesn't bother me too much

after you get the dash piece off, the clear plastic face is held on by some torx head screws. be careful when you remove the face, it scratchs easily. since you got all that off anyway, it might be a good idea to pull out the guage cluster and replace any burnt out bulbs. good luck
