I've read that you'll need the screen and the module as well then get it reprogrammed at the dealer

If insurance takes the truck, you can't take anything from it. Maybe they deduct it from the check you get if they see stuff missing??

Not sure if you have to change out the HMI module for the 8" screen or not....or if that's just the Nav part.

Anyway...that's a complete "how to" if you are able to do the swap.
