So, first and foremost, does anyone know how extensive a replace like this is? My cable recently broke and it's replacement just came in the mail. I'd just like to know what I'm getting myself into. Is it more like a weekend task rather than an hour task?

 

It's kind of a pita. The cable runs through the driver side fender and its taped in with the main fuse box harness that runs into the cab. You will need to remove the driver side fender liner and remove all the tape, etc. It's connected by two screws under the dash. It has its own slot in the grommet that runs into the cab as well so just pull it through, disconnect it from the latch and replace.
