Nice job glad I found this have a wrecked sport and bought a 16 express about to pull all the interior out of sport and put in the express dash part had me worried until I found this
I've been looking to install a 1500 dash from a 2016 Sport into my 2013 Tradesman 3500. I pulled the upper glove box door from it. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be compatible.

Completed finally. With the exception of the single screw under the glass it would have come off without having to remove/loosen the dash frame.

This took me less than 2 hours. There may have been a beer break, lunch break, and time on the loo that added to total time. Lol
When I replaced the HVAC plenum, evap, and heater core it took 4 hours with coolant fluid burping so I kinda knew my way around already.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have updated dashpad part numbers?
I have a 2018 2500 tradesman I'd like to get a leather pad for.
Someone mentioned there are white, red and even a blue stitched pad...?

Reach out to forum vendor @AllMoparParts.com (Benny) can get you squared away most likely.

Hey, I know this is an old thread, but I am currently replacing mine and needing help locating the 2 trim pieces that frame the gauge cluster. Does anyone here know the part numbers to these or a link to where I can buy them? They do NOT come with the dash.
Thanks!
