    I'm putting a fuel pressure gauge in my 07 t600 and I'm trying to get to the gauges I took out the three screws by the windshield thinking that piece would slide ahead and lift up but it doesn't slide or move so I'm stuck?

    Haven't looked into an 07 T600, but have taken the dash apart on my 07 T800, looked to me like the gauges were very easy to access;
    I removed the large trim piece that surrounds the gauge cluster, starting at the bottom (just clips in place). This exposes the phillips head screws that after removal, allows the dash to almost fall into your lap.

    Not trying to hijack, but I would like to add some gauges in my truck, (only have 10 if you count the radio), I want to use factory gauges, but don't understand the workings of that black box behind the present gauges. If someone could direct me where I might go to get educated about this project, would really appreciate it.

    The teltik gauge I got says it is supposed to just plug in for the power source then run the wires up for the gauge. So you just pull down on the wood grain panel to unclip it?

    I believe the woodgrain panel should pull out towards you from what the other poster said. Then there will be some screws behind that that will remove the gauges.

    Yea just pull out on the panel but be careful not to break the clips.

    Oscar and Haulhand are both correct.

    I started at the bottom, where it is the narrowest, grab it with your fingers and gently pull toward you; it will give enough to enable you to see where the clips attach, (approx 10" apart). I GENTLY worked a flattened tablespoon that had been modified for a previous project (but baby, I have NO idea how that heirloom from your great grandmothers silver set got in my toolbox!) under the trim, and GENTLY pried the trim toward me.
