This 2000 Chevrolet Silverado came in with a complaint that there was not much air coming through the vents. The customer said he thought the blower motor might be worn out. A quick look under the dash and I saw that this truck has a cabin air filter. I removed the single screw at the rear of the filter cover.
Lowered the rear edge and swung it down to release the hinge point (hook).
I started pulling the filter out and this is what I found. After sliding the first filter out, I had to pull the second filter towards me first and then pull it down.
I cleaned all of the loose debris from the hole and started putting the new filters in. First I slid it straight up and then pushed it towards the front of the truck. Installed the second filter and this one was done.
These are the old filters after I had knocked the heavy debris off.
My neighbor (both of us are senior citizens) was trying to find the cabin filter on his Chevy truck. I looked it up and ran across your article. Went back over to his house and in 15 minutes we had the old filters out and headed to the parts store to get replacements. Thanks for a great article/how to.
Unbelievable! You would think there would be a sensor for these hepa filters. My vacume has a sensor. Been driving without heat / air for some time now!
If the filter looks to be the same size as the ones in this post there are two filters. The second one is more towards the firewall and you can only see one edge of it until you start working it out.
This was great when I found my filters there was only one. I am glad I found this
Very helpfull! Thanks so much
