Ford F150 / Gen 1 Raptor Cabin Air filter Installation by Infinity Overland

[@ASDonohoe]

Amazing, A desert truck built tough with no cabin filter.. Way to go Ford

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Gen1 didn’t have one. Gen2s do. Don’t forget this is a 8 year old truck from a 13 yr old generation.

[@ChromesConsoles]

Thank you so much! I and my dad could never figure out how to do the cabin air filter! Awesome video and Thanks!

[@randeew4860]

Not a bad install at all. You were right breaking that cover off was definitely the hardest.

[@dieselguy64]

Picked mine up from Infinity (Paul) about six months ago, totally worth wild upgrade. Thx for sharing

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Nice!! 6months in are you still on the first filter? Thanks observing how long it will last

[@dieselguy64]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad still on my first filter, I have two trips on it. Replacing it after the DD Baja trip Labor Day. I’ll post picks of the filter. Keep up the awesome channel.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man. Very interested too see how long these last

[@OldManGarage]

My truck exhaust set up was almost identical to yours when I when I bought it with a Whipple 2.9 super charger. I installed a straight through resonator, a bigger straight through muffler and a tail pipe that extends over the axle and it sounds much better! 🤘🏼

[@OldManGarage]

Also I went through three exhaust setups to get it quiet to down. it's the headers that cause it to be so ear piercing loud just so you know. It is still a very loud truck after doing all that but sounds much better.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

YeH, the headers do add a lot of noise. I’m really happy with my custom exhaust

[@gregray1171]

Haha.. dude I love my Raptor too, but you took it to a whole new level.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Dust is a big problem. And mine smelled really musty. So this is something I had to do.

[@IndiMan2233]

I currently have Nash from RaptorJunkies taking apart my dash because my evap core was 100% clogged in mud basically from not having a air filter in dusty conditions

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Oh wow man. That’s crazy. Much better to clean and replace this filter than having to take parts the dash. Holy crap. Can you share any pics over email or on Instagram? Would make for a great cautionary story.

[@IndiMan2233]

[@TheNateMob]

Is there any disadvantage to just using "recirculate mode" all the time to keep dust out of the interior? Great video, really enjoying all the Gen Juan content.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Still sucking dust from outside. And if your screen is all clogged, the smell inside the cab will only get worse.

[@SPAWNOFSATAN013]

I have this kit thanks for installing instructions

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Right on man.

[@kjw11595]

Great video, thank you! Love your content

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks

[@sensei2121]

Very Entertaining video!!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man. Most DIY videos get boring so want to show some of the shenanigans that happen during the install

[@0xRick00]

Great tuturial! How do you identify which generation model you have?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Based on the style of the truck. All Gen1s look like the truck in this video. Gen2 and gen3 you can do a quick google search on your year truck + raptor

[@irregularf150]

Man yall make this stuff look easy. Kinda wish i lived nearby to learn first hand 😂

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

No way we made this looked easy. Not with all the shit I was getting from the fam. It sucked but totally worth it

[@ruedaibanezjr]

The best part of the video is the wofies comment's and narrative on how to properly install the filter.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤣🤣 totally agree

[@ryanhiggins15]

So you have to take all that apart to change the filter in the future?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

No. I just swapped mine and I had to pop off the cowel and loosen the center bolts for the wipers and was able to swap it out.

[@TheGodRah]

Did you reseal the cover to thw screen filter?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

No. As you saw in the video, we basically had to destroy it to remove it

[@usprideca]

going to have to call paul and get one now

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Totally worth it

[@FordTruckGuyKyle]

Can you share a link for your off-road lights please the ones by the windshield

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

All my lights are linked in my amazon page. Check the gear I use link in my bio

[@TechSkater777]

When are you going to make a video about the rebuilt suspension system? and videos about taking it off road on some jumps and trails?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Working on all the rehab videos this week. Going to be covering everything we did to get her rehabbed and back on the road

[@g-rock19]

Just bought my 2011 raptor today and it smells musty !! The ac isn’t “ice” cold either . Hopefully this will fix the smell for now.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

So easy way to check is to remove the computer and see how much debris you have on the screen. You may have to use your phone or a mirror to see. Also keep in mind that the condenser or what ever that radiator thing inside the cab is called is clogged from years of dirt, then you have an even bigger job on your hands.

[@MarkJones-sk6vk]

Wow that is some dedication.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Not when you consider the drawbacks. If enough dust gets in, it can settle on the AC condenser in the cab and eventually disable it and you won’t get any air cold air. To repair, the whole interior and dash has to come out.

[@realryanv]

Loved the video. Helped me install mine! Was wondering if you could offer your two cents? I’m one of those unlucky people who is experiencing low air flow now after the installation. Recirculation blows hard and cold. Once I switch to regular A/C it immediately sounds like a vacuum in the glovebox and the air flow goes to 2/10, even on the highest setting. I've tried spraying down the evaporator but that was no help. Considering a coil cleaner treatment. Was wondering if you had any other ideas on what it could be? Thank you!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I had the same experience but a few months later. The filter got clogged quick. He now makes a high flow filter that is supposed to help with air flow. I have not tried it yet. But I’m about due to switch my filter again and wi be trying it

[@RJScott]

So you have to go through this to change the filter?!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

No. I just changed mine recently and I had to just pop off the cowel trip and remove one of the wiper bolts right above the filter. Still a pain in the butt.

[@marccolecole6419]

Does no water get into the sealed area? Did the original set up allow for proper computer cooling?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Properly sealed the water does not get in. Going to be changing mine here soon and will confirm. As for the computer, I don’t think they overheat. I don’t think they are using high processing power. If they did, they would have active cooling on them.

[@bmx4life5549]

Do they say how long the filters last or how often they should be changed

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

It depends on how often you hit trails really. Don’t hit trails at all, do it every other oil change. Hit trails all the time you could be changing it every 2-3 months. On my Gen2 we did it quarterly and if we noticed a musty smell we changed it early because it meant it was caked up.

[@caseycharity]

Great video! Just received mine, can’t wait to install! Have you figured out how to get or make air filters for the vents in the back of the cab yet?! 😃👍

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Yeah. Will be showing in a future video. It’s not a clean and perfect solution, but it will do the trick.

[@caseycharity]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad sounds great, thank you! I'm about to do this install on my 2013 5.0 platinum. Your raptor is sick btw, the 1st gens are thee best in my opinion.

[@rikkhaynes1391]

Great video, will be doing this come spring. But one question, the AC cover that gets taken off to clean the screen, does that get put back on ? Or left off since that area is sealed with the new filter ?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Left off since the new filters seals the area.

[@mindgame808]

After installing the kit, have you noticed a decrease in air flow when switched to outside air? Thanks :)

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

No decrease at all. No more musty smell either. If you have a decrease in air flow after, there are 2 things to check. 1 make sure the screen is clear, some skip this step. 2. Check your AC condenser. Many guys find that years of running without a condenser results in the dust building up on the AC condenser into a hard rock mud. Once it’s clogged the whole interior has to come out to swap it.

[@mindgame808]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad K!! Installed the kit this weekend. When I removed the filter, flow rate returned. When I placed my replacement filter, flow rate sux’d. I created a vid to demonstrate the strength of the flow without the filter. If you are getting a good flow, you may want to check for leaks. This explains why a cra* load of leaves find its way into the vent guard. kzbin.inforyvUbAvtDKw?feature=share

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Will have to test mine, but I saw a big difference is smells in the cab and did not loose any airflow.

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

Sure looks like a good upgrade to have, luckily my entire dash and A/C system was out and replaced aswell as cleaned so I can skip that nasty step.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

YeH, that step sucked for sure. But if you notice any leafs in the cowl, then there is a nice pile on that screen again for sure

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad yeah I always pick them out as I find them. I try not to park under trees and my truck has a nice canopy it sits under so I shouldn't have anything to worry about. Thanks for the great video👍

[@albertayo7035]

Hey ! Raptor king do you recommend changing transmission oil for gen1 with high mileage ?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Oh yeah!!. That is a must. I think book states every 100k miles. I personally have not done it. Transmissions make me nervous and will work with a shop to change, not flush, the oil. This Raptor has low miles. BUT, we will be changing the transmission fluid because of its age and we want to install a bypass valve for better cooling.

[@albertayo7035]

thanks!

What issues did you hear about?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Gen1 raptors and 2009-2014 F150s have very well documented AC issues. Most common issue is blend doors breaking. We just ran into one of them. There is also heater core issues and finally because there is no filter, some get enough dust that the condenser in the truck gets caked up enough that it has to be replaced.
