there are several 2009 - 2012 videos
most cover the outer door panel removal

You should buy a set of Trim Removal tools

Harbor Freight will work, i bought mine at Home Depot

Now, if i may make a suggestion:

In the video below, the man shows us how to remove the door handle.

The next step, is the 6 screws,
behind each screw, is a rubber washer
Those washers are easy to lose, do Not work over grass or pebbles, use an old sheet or something to catch anything that drops.

Unscrew the screw a few turns
Now take one of the trim tools, one that has a split at the end.
Insert the Trim tool, not behind the screw or the washer
Insert it behind the panel itself & a screw, now pry lightly.
This will allow you to pry on the Panel, washer & screw all at once, using the doors metal to pry against

When you put the panel back on,
put the washer on the screw
Line up the panel
insert the screw & the washer into the panels screw hole
now push in with your thumb.
You may not have to screw them in at all, they may just push right in

I was inquiring more as to, is it a 1500, 2500, 3500, Laramie, etc. I would imagine the process is not exactly the same on every model.
My apologies again 1500. I think I may have figured it out but I’m not 100% sure.
