2007-14 Chevy Tahoe cabin filter install

How I installed a cabin filter on my Tahoe.

Sir, your video is amazing. No need to apologise for it and say bear with me. I was repairing the wife's 09 Suburban and had to go to KZbin because there was not a door. This Missouri boy really appreciates getting advice from a talented person who works. Well done and thanks again

[@hillcountrygarage]

That's a great modification. And this is your first video? Amazing! You have over 151K views as I'm writing this. Very helpful and informative, my friend. Good job and thanks!

[@mikelosson4864]

Thank you for the information on our 07 Tahoe cabin filter replacement..good video..

[@claudiaespinoza1750]

Thank you for your video. It help a great deal. God Bless.

[@matafdo123]

Watching your video answered my question

[@nashvlbees]

Good job fabricating the cover plate! The filter cost around $15 - $20 but the crazy cover plate costs over $30! You saved a lot of money. But, I would get the correct size filter because the dust will go around the edges. Good video! Thanks! My new filter and cover plate will arrive tomorrow!

[@stanpen4127]

Thank You and Greetings from Germany

[@bardforhiree8454]

Good vid!

[@josephkiff849]

First off, thanks for making me realize I’m not insane and it is sealed. Second off, what did you use to cut it out? Do I need to break out the dremel or will a simple box cutter make it through. Thanks for the video man!

[@JakeELee99]

Yes sir that’s how ya do it. Make your own!

[@my95buick]

What purpose does sealing it in serve?

[@scottbungay5351]

nice job,thank you

[@merrimansfurniture1094]

Did you measure your filter door width and length? This would give me a starting point before I start fine tuning the notch cut outs and the rounded area with the screw hole. Thanks!

[@ornelasautosales]

I used the original plastic piece I cutout as a template. Hope this helps.

[@jaimealeman2559]

Excelente trabajo. Ya se como hacerlo. Saludos desde cd. Juárez Chihuahua. México frontera con el PASO TEXAS.

[@stanpen4127]

would be nice to see how you cut the bottom plate out and what u used. and any problems u incounted and the plate you made. can a diy do this job as good as your???

[@chucktaylor4384]

Sheeeeew boys at's awesome ingenuity rite thar!!

[@joseguillermopaz5859]

Thanks a lot!

[@Doc_shinobi]

So does it not already come with a cabin filter installed?

[@AntonioLopez-ox8kt]

Muy bien mi conpa saludos

[@dentureadventure948]

What dash cover do you have?

[@hectorotanez4086]

How did you remove the black plastic cover? I was told you need to remove 3 screws but did you need to remove the center console to get it off?

[@nashvlbees]

Since you posted this over 10 months ago you probably already know by not but the filter is sealed from the factory, so you need to take a utility knife and cut off the old cover. It's not to hard since there is a groove to follow which makes it a lot easier.

[@iStevens0n]

she's asking about the plastic cover with 3 screws not the part where u cut the hole for the cabin filter. she meant the one you take off to get to that one you talked about

[@MrKickerBass]

Thanks

[@phonemd1]

I jus did it on my 12 avalanche. what a pain, to cut that rectangle out.....but I did it, bought the kit from my auto parts store.....

[@davidquintero5140]

You. Did good sir🎉🎉

[@jonathanmorales1921]

Thank you.

[@sergiorodriguez1107]

So is GMC / Chevrolet cutting corners by not installing a cabin air filter? Geeez that's greed if it's true, they sure love to charge a lot for their vehicles. I just bought me a 2011 Sierra 1500, great video.

[@generationrecon]

Any tips on how to clean the vent system ...mine smells like the previous owner sprayed some new car smell hardcore in there (rather than cleaning) I didn't notice but the smell hits the taste buds bad...looking for any tips... would the air filter help?

[@richardvasquez6746]

More than likely it will help, the smell is probably stuck in the filter and if replaced should be less noticeable.

[@edgarrodriguez7202]

Recently did this to mine. I did have to cut the seal, there was no filter. I did notice another filter (aluminum) beside it. Any idea what that is?

[@ekhaamattar4400]

That wasn’t the filter, It’s the evaporator and It mades of aluminum Unfortunately, I’m having same issue with my Yukon 2012 Anyhow, It seems that some models come without filter Feeling sorry for such a lack 😓

[@thespu239]

I don’t understand I thought there was a spot there already for cabin filter I hope you didn’t do a unnecessary modifications 🤔

[@deanakers1654]

I have a 07 chevy silverado went to pull plastic peace out like you tube videos show mine dont have one also all sollid peace under there

[@robertfrisby9182]

No. Its not cut open. I did the same thing with my 07

[@andrenichols6159]

When you cut it out was there a factory filter inside?

[@TheCaseyjones91]

Nope

[@techpals]

Meanwhile take gloves box .. take filter cover .. replace filter in other cars. But thank you sir.

[@richardalaquinez13]

👍👍

[@andypadilla1127]

What was the relay u replaced for ?

[@JakeELee99]

Heater blower relay. I had to replace mine also. Another ez job that do it your sellers can do. Videos are on here for that also

[@cadenkoranda3385]

So question but if the plastic part is sealed than how am I supposed to change the cabin filter

[@ornelasautosales]

You cutout the bottom part and replace it with a metal piece. Sheet metal or Aluminium.

[@lylenelson7446]

If you don't have a cover then there is no cabin filter inside your plenum box. Some were manufactured with and some were not. If you want dorman makes a aftermarket kit to cut out the plenum box with an opening and install the kits plastic door along with filter or filters.

[@KrazyGoodMods]

@@lylenelson7446 Dorman kit-259-200, or GM cover-22759208 and GM filter-22759203(aka CF194).
