Not really. Mitchell lists 3.8 hours to remove and install this dash. Another database lists 3.0 hours. It's literally the easiest dash on a "modern" vehicle.
Maybe double check that... isn't it 3.8 to remove and 3.8 to install?
No, that’s not how it works. 3.0 or 3.8 is to remove it and put it back in, depending on which time study I check. That time includes taking out your tools, bathroom breaks, and everything. Successful technicians “beat the clock”, meaning they can do the job faster than the listed time. The technical term for this is “technician proficiency”. Dealerships and high-tech shops make their techs clock in to each job so the techs’ proficiency and efficiency can be tracked.
