[@MegaDee911]

Video starts at 4:23. Your welcome.

[@chrissimmonds4898]

MegaDee911 thanks

[@Texasknowhow]

I hear ya. That was hard to watch. I was all over the double tap FF for this one.

[@marcelzlamal539]

If only I read this comment first lol thx though

[@geraldmartin7417]

You da man

[@ADDade]

Thank you my friend 😂

[@smbeezy]

That’s a real good spot to put an air filter so us ford owners can never change it 👏🏼👏🏼 thanks

[@carlcoleman727]

Actually I found out about it from my neighbor changing his wife’s Jeep and it’s the same hassle . He had to remove a bunch of crap

[@logyz450]

I can’t tell if you are serious or not but if you are, you’re a fuckin muppet! This guy did the job in less than 8 minutes with literally 2 very common tools and filming at the same time. Even muppets should be able to get it done without issue. Just got to overcome that laziness and just do it.

[@smbeezy]

@@logyz450 no, you know what I did ? I bought the 2021 limited !! So go change your air filter in your piece of shit old ass truck!!! You muppet! Whatever that is

[@Mar_Santilli2012]

I have have the same truck, by watching this video I went and bought a cabin filter and changed it myself. It was easy. Thanks for posting this video.

[@carolynwhetstone4330]

Best video I’ve seen in changing the cabin filter. Thank you

[@johnnyjones3362]

Cool. I get these filters for 8 bucks and takes 5 min to replace. Always cross reference your filter # and you'll find a better price. Do not have the dealer change it.

[@mariajosevega2054]

Ppp

[@skeetershowdown]

Perfect and straight to the point. Less than 15 minute job.

[@donaldpimentel8619]

Man. Just go straight to the point!!!

[@richardnavratil9661]

My dude. Really not that hard to skip to 1:39. :)

[@elcyberguy]

Just changed the filter and saved $50. Thank you!!

[@adidasaaan]

Thanks for the thorough guide - just did it myself in about 20 minutes :)

[@Onlooker71]

Very helpful. Had it changed in 20 minutes and didn’t break a thing! Thank you for posting!

[@barryhaupt]

Thank you so much for making this video. I could never have done the filter replacement on my 2017 F150 Lariat without it.

[@Education-1964]

Go right to 3:23. that's where it really starts.

[@stevel2902]

Thanks! Some of those little white clips came off - hardest part was getting one that fell somewhere behind the glovebox. Lol. Thanks for the video. Gave me the confidence to buy a filter, a trim removal kit and do it. The $7 trim removal kit is useful for other things too - like cleaning along where the windows slide down into the doors, tucking some charging cables into the dash, etc. I also found that my Ford dealership’s last service broke one of the cabin air filter cover’s side locking tabs, and they didn’t put the cover’s bottom tabs into those little receiver slots to make it air tight. So - I used a tie wrap to secure the side with the broken locking tab, and put it all back how it should be. It definitely runs a little quieter now - with it all sealed up, and a new clean filter that’s letting air pass with less effort. Again thanks for the video!!

[@UniversalFordLincolnCalgary]

We're glad it helped!

[@yogiyoda]

Holy crap, Ford made this unnecessarily hard.

[@LIFEINSPEED]

Labor 1hr job 160dala at dealer pure profit is 120 dala )

[@dougbourdo2589]

Far easier than Chev

[@nlh719]

Worst is the ford escape its behind the gear shifter, you gotta peel back the carpet

[@kgot7436]

Its two fucking screws...

[@ScottyBim]

Great video. HOWEVER, the step at 5:54 gave me a LOT of trouble. I found using the plastic pry tool to separate the clips along the bottom edge (you can see the 3 receiving slots below orange and white wires at 6:10) helped a lot. AND when you put it back together, MAKE SURE the rubber grommet on the back fits into the bare metal bracket to the left of filter box and right of the big white sticker. Otherwise your glove compartment door won't close properly. Hope this helps someone else!

[@gale212]

All kinds of stupid comments on this one. This is the correct way to do this. Yes, if you have small hands, you can squeeze the filter out without taking the top section off. And yes, if you want, you can probably leave the lower section in it's tracks. It's doubtful he has anything except the factory filter in there at 12k miles, so no, that's not charcoal. For those with trims below Lariat, the wood grain piece is black and it comes off with the first part he pulled away. For those with Lariat or higher, you can use a flat screwdriver wrapped in a thin rag. You don't need a trim tool. Best of luck on your filter change!

[@truth959]

I just changed my cabin filter using this video as a guide. I was really surprised how much force it took to pull that plastic cover off. I was afraid I was going to break the plastic. I just don't understand why Ford would make it so tough to get off. I really appreciate the video. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't have had the confidence.

[@GoaEnjoyer]

Same for me, I was really ripping on it and was getting afraid I was going to break something

[@shotgunz124]

It’s hard to get off so it doesn’t rattle and fall off easily Some people are rough on trucks

[@JasonGouin]

Thank you for taking the time to walk us through this. I find it annoying they made it such a pain to get to the filter. Guess this is how Ford makes all their money.

[@mtrage]

Great video, thanks! My filter was way nastier as I don't think it has ever been changed at 58k miles.

[@ratbrain7743]

Good tips. I'm scared of pulling on plastic pieces the first time. I broken lots of little clips and stuff pulling incorrectly Edit I just checked mine. His instruction are great. The top plastic piece was stuck so tight. I wouldn't have got it off if I hadn't seen the video. I thought it was gonna break before it snapped out. It will probably be easier next time. My filter was full of crap. 16500 miles.

[@chrisbjarkman]

Recently took my ‘18 F150 Lariat 3.5 eco boost in for its oil change. They asked if I wanted to replace the air filters to the engine and cabin, I passed and came home and promptly ordered the needed filters on amazon. Glad I decided to check on YT for advice as after watching your video I got the job done without issue. It was similar to previous cars but with a few body panel steps I would of been apprehensive about doing without seeing how you did it first. Thanks 👍🏼

[@GromeMoose]

To a tee it was spot on with how to do this. an amazing video. This swap took 10 or less minutes!!!

[@Mr2004MCSS]

Great video. I just changed out this filter on my fiancee's 2017 F150 using this video. The rubber piece on her truck was one piece so no need for the trim tool.

[@CS-vr3zx]

You , sir have posted a great DIY project video - much appreciated

[@TheOnlySgtRock]

Excellent video. Simple yet very descriptive. Great commentary.

[@g1lb0rt1]

Took 10 mins with the help of this video. Thanks

[@farzanblooxfrost]

Bought a Re-washable K&N cabin filter for 44 bucks and did the job in 12 minutes my First time doing this... 😀 thanks for the Tips

[@Fixitfelix252]

I work for Ford, I always sell these around every 20,000 miles. And this video is why! These filters get dirty VERY quickly

[@dallas4fun]

This guy did a great job, thanks for the video. Ford however, obviously designed this process to be way more complicated than needed, in order to make it more difficult than the average person wants to do, in order to be able to charge $100 for this $8 job. Crazy! For comparison, it literally takes longer for me to empty the contents of my glove box than it takes me to change the cabin filter on my other vehicle and no tools or risky trim removal is required. Pitiful!

[@dalelallred]

Well Ford. You sure make that more complicated than need be!

[@williamwatkins1996]

Dale Allred complicated? GM takes more work than this lmfao. The easiest ones are toyota and dodges. Nissans are a pain in the ass

[@robbinsresort]

VW's are a piece of cake compared to the F-150, and the Germans love making simple things complicated.

[@ratbrain7743]

IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT. YOU DON'T NEED TO TRY ANYTHING. JEEZ

[@josephbarrow8085]

Thank you for the video. Changed mine in 5 mins. I don't understand why dealers charge 80$ for this service

[@colinc1633]

Couldn’t have done this without this video! Thank you brotha!👍🏼

[@sandmanxo]

The video was longer than the install time on this. Thanks for the location and what socket was needed as that makes quick work of it

[@10rninjariderzx]

A filter with some dirt does not necessarily need changed. It is doing its job. People kill me thinking their filter should look new clean all the time. I guess filter manufacturers love it. People throwing out good filters. It's only necessary to change when the dirt load restricts flow beyond acceptable limits.

[@Forsecondbreakfast]

Correction, did it’s job, the fact it has dirt on it says air flow is already being restricted

[@MainStreetCustoms33513]

Thank you very much for making this video

[@edgarza6259]

First time changing on a 2017. Actually never knew there was a slot on top for the owners manual!!!

[@grantjennings162]

Thanks, I was able to replace my filter without any issues

[@OutdorsDanny]

I was wondering how my glove Box got messed up, now I know it was my dealership.

[@garman7921]

Mine from the dealership also

[@PabloCimino]

Thanks! The back of the dash has plastyic clips that broke off but i think its still fine

[@rlal6972]

Thanks for the video. Ignore the negativity, at least I now know how to do it!

[@jasminelee30]

times like this rly makes me miss my toyota…

[@beatfarmerfan]

Thanks for the video! I have a question.... Does the airflow to the windshield defroster vents go through this filter too? I live in the U.P. Of michigan, and I imagine a lot of warm up and defrosting time, much less gas can be saved pushing warm air through a good clean filter rather than a 3/4 plugged filter while my truck is sitting idling in my driveway.

[@careynash512]

Thanks for the video. I was able to replace my filthy filter in my F-150 in less than 10 minutes total. Definitely needed the trim tool and to pull harder than I expected You made it look too easy to pull of the dash cover to get to the filter cover underneath. Now I know.

[@Hangar181982]

Thanks - your walkthrough on this procedure worked out great. Cheers from Eastern Canada!

[@LivinWith3M]

Awesome video and channel. I’m a new subscriber and fellow F150 owner. Thanks for the great tutorials.👍🏻

[@kevinroberts4809]

You did way more work than you needed to. you only needed to take the top section off. Usually takes me 45 seconds to change one

[@jmarsile]

can you make a video then?

[@ChainsawPenny]

No need for another video, just open your glove box and skip to 4:40 of the video. There is no need to remove your glove box as the filter is behind the trim piece above the glove box.

[@10rninjariderzx]

I was going to say that is stupid to be that hard to access a throw away filter. I am an hvac tech. I never put filters in plenums that require a customer to use tools or jump through hoops to change their filter.

[@DSKSeattle]

I was thinking the same thing. It almost sounded like it was intentionally difficult and risky so more customers come in and pay for the service.

[@Fractureless1]

@@DSKSeattle he just wanted to talk a lil bit more. And repeat himself at least 3 times more.

[@richardolle195]

Really $50 in labor and $50 for the filter. No need for the plastic tool. Be careful when removing the plastic arm (damper) on the glove box, there is a little white plastic gear that can fall out of the arm. Filter is $16.95 at the auto parts store and anyone that knows what a wrench is can do it in 15 minutes. save the $85 and take the family out for a steak dinner.

[@lukepotter9041]

Thanks for this! I saw another one that didn’t have the two screws

[@carlostorres6250]

[@James.1881]

I just changed mine out today with a Purolator filter I bought at advanced auto for $14.99. I have a 16 model f150 , the part # for the purolator is C38214. Ford cabin filters are made by Purolator.

[@02hreblue30]

I have a 2018. I could tell right off your dash had been apart before because the left side of the plastic is deformed and sits down. Thats the danger of taking plastic apart too much. Then its very noticeable when put back together

[@scottgorman7166]

Thanks for the heads up...My 60K Ram Larime didnt even have a filter...Im gonna check my XLT for one...hope its back there. Dumped the RAM after 72 K miles,,,electronic nightmare

[@jlatala4655]

3:38 that arm is loose from upper side on my truck. (someone forced the glovebox). Where can I fit it on the right upper side of the dash? thanks.

[@walterholbrooks673]

Great job. Enjoy watching your video.

[@Qaz1qwerty]

Just replaced the filter on the new to me 2016. The previous owner did an excellent job of detailing the interior, but once I started pulling the cover panels loose it was obvious they had a dog. The filter was almost black and full of dog hair. Took me less than 30 minutes.

... just drop your glove box and then reach in there and replace your filter -- the other pieces do not need to be taken off ...

That’s a terrible idea. I just followed your advice and smashed the old filter, no way to get the new filter in without removing what he told you to remove.

The filter is dark because it is charcoal for removing odors as well as filter dirt. Your replacement was the cheaper version.

Pretty much a piece of cake, thanks to your video! Very cool that you’re willing to help customers of yours to do it themselves, when you could make labor and mark up on this. I’ll bet you have repeat business! My local dealer in Jefferson City, MO seems competent on most things, but I can’t imagine them giving me this advice. I’m now doing the filters on our Exploder and 150, probably saving $70 per (though the dealer screwed up the right hinge on the explorer, and it was b!#@$& to get back on. Broke the circular part on the door, and broke the tab off on the pin. Just LOVELY!). Thanks again for your help, though. Thumbs up!!!!
