I removed the dash to get to mine. Not sure if they are the same since yours is an 03. I will look to see if I saved instructions for the earlier model years.

Edit:

I found this saved ......

Try this for the stuck cds in the radio. I was able to get them out, and the cd unit reset itself upon powering up. Remove the radio and put it on a workbench or the kitchen table. To get it apart, the front face needs to come off. I believe its a couple screws on each side, and the front face will come off and 1 wire plug to unplug. then looking from the front, gently slide the cd or cds out. Put the face back on, and reinstall in the truck. when powering up after plugging in the plugs , mine reset itself and now works again.

Here are a few threads for cd player removal I just found (I had been meaning to look these up for awhile):

I've heard if you remove the grounds from both batteries, wait 5 min and rehook them, turn key to on (no start), hit eject, It'll spit it (them) out.

Is yours a 6 CD player? I have a used single CD player I removed from my 2005 for sale.
