Craig...excellent tutorial... You did a great job relating to the everyday non mechanic guy that s doing this job

[@Craigs_car_care]

Thank you Roger,glad we could be of service.

[@UccelloLibero86]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2007 Chevy Avalanche LTZ and I was so confused when I was trying to pull out the filter which was really just the plastic piece. I cut it out myself with a box cutter... not the easiest thing to do.. but got it done... there was so much debri that fell out when i cut out that plastic "door"... and there was so much debri up in the metal screen.. I vacuumed it out best i could with the shop vac and then brushed the metal screen with a soft wire brush while vacuuming.. finally i reversed the shop vac connection and "blew out" the rest of the dust... I replaced the filter in according to your instructions. Thank you again for this video.

[@Craigs_car_care]

Great work! Glad it went well. I am guessing there may be more air flow now also. We are happy we could be of service and appreciate your kind words.

[@allisonlebbink1197]

I've got a 2007 LTZ avalanche too, is there any other way besides cutting to get the filter out??

[@Craigs_car_care]

@@allisonlebbink1197 Great question Allison and I'm glad you asked it. If it has a filter in there then it has a door to unbolt to let the dirty filter filter come out And then reinstall the new one. If there's no door there for it then your options are to continue running with it the way it is or if it has the place four-door then there needs to be a one-time area cut out that allows filters to be replaced and a door kit installed. Once it's done the first time it's just a matter of changing filters each time. Doing the filter itself is pretty straightforward sometimes some of these have a lower panel that's kind of a pain to get out and back in each time. We have many people have a shop put the door kit in the first time then after that the client takes over changing the filters to save future money on labor.

@@Craigs_car_care I have this problem with my 2007 ltz avalanche as well I got the filter only to be disapointed that i could not replace it then my research confirmed that the filter is sealed . Do shops like auto zone , Oreilys sell the door kit ?

[@Craigs_car_care]

@@Wolf1701.. Parts stores like Napa and Oreilys do sell the kit that has the door and the screw. When looking under the dash where the filter should go, see if the place for the door latch a thing thing and the other send for where the screw goes in is there. that is where the cut out goes.

Will that way work for a 2011 LT crew cab Silverado?

[@Craigs_car_care]

That is a really good question, most Silverados will either have the door or a place to put one in. Most of them are where the video shows but some have pointed out that there are a few oddballs with it behind the glove box.

[@desireeduran743]

Would that filter cause the AC and heater to quit blowing? Or is that something else?

[@Craigs_car_care]

Great question!, It can reduce the air flow but it is very unlikely that it would stop all air flow. If there is no airflow at all and you cannot hear the blower motor running, then start with checking the fuses and go from there.

[@chancesleepnmisshim2616]

Yes .I sold .my little Toyota truck because I thought the ac was bad iv seen many that looked like people ate pancakes off of them.GOOP

[@foxdiaz4596]

The Yukon Denali 2004 need this ? I open but just see all close

[@Craigs_car_care]

It may need the kit install, involves having a small area removed from the bottom of the case to expose where the filter goes and then a little door with a screw goes in its place. If you're not familiar with where this could be or and how it works you can have a local shop do the first install for you and after that you can change all your own filters moving forward.

[@samsquires2877]

Do you know if the 2009 Silverado had a cabin filter. I thought they didn’t.

[@Craigs_car_care]

The parts manual shows a part number for the 2009. So it is possible it does have one.

[@Craigs_car_care]

Sam, The catalog does show it could have one. Also I found parts numbers 6002501/6002502 and a kit that comes with the bottom cover 6002503 all from Napa. You may just look under there and see if the door is present.

[@mickjones2871]

Great video, thx

[@certifiedmanagement2605]

I don't see a door under mine. Does that mean I have to cut it out and replace it with the retrofit cover? If so how do I cut it open? Please and thank you

[@wasupwilly]

Where can I get a retrofit kit. Mine doesn't have a filter after all?

[@trulysouthern2736]

so i got a 07 ltz new body style like that and mine dont have a door or has been cut out yet, so is it needed to now go and do that or just optional??? and so does my truck technically have a filter in it right now that might be super old??? 250k miles...

[@Craigs_car_care]

It may have the place to do the cut out, best advice is to ask your regular shop to check it for you and if you want you can have them install the door and first filter once they look. after that you can do all future replacements. Also some of the early ones were behind the glove box area. Thanks for the great question.

[@trulysouthern2736]

@@Craigs_car_care thank you! So when you say behind the glove box? We're exactly bc I got the new body style not the cat eye

[@Craigs_car_care]

@@trulysouthern2736 On the ones behind the Glove box (if it is there) is behind the liner of the glove box. It is kind of a pain to access. When I look under factory repairs for a 2007 it references removing it for service "if equipped"

[@trulysouthern2736]

@@Craigs_car_care yeah bc I just now stated to get a odor but havnt treated the air yet, so I guess I'll get the kit

Does 2010 Silverado have cabin air filter?

[@Craigs_car_care]

Good afternoon Larrick, I have seen so many with and without a filter I have just started looking at each one for a filter and or slot either behind the glove box or under the case like the one in the video. There just does not seem to be any rhyme or reason on which ones have it.

[@mariovazquez190]

good video, except that mine still has to be cut out...why would they do that?!!

[@Craigs_car_care]

I ask myself that every time I see one. Makes no sense. 😅

[@DjLockEdown1]

I don’t see one on my 2013 Suburban … somebody help me

[@Craigs_car_care]

Hi, If you do not see the door with the one bolt after removing the lower panel it has probbly not had one yet and needs the kit that we mentioned. You only have to do it once to have a door for future filter replacements. The kits show you where to cut the factory plastic. Many people have a shop do their first one then they take over replacing the filters after that.

[@gregtubbs5667]

I followed this video for my Texas Edition.....it is not there......Is there an alt location?

[@Craigs_car_care]

Hi Greg, no place for the cut out? There are a few that can be behind the glove box. Let us know what you discover and thanks for posting

[@gregtubbs5667]

@@Craigs_car_care My underneath looked just like the video. The housing has the same shape. It just doesn't open.

[@Craigs_car_care]

@@gregtubbs5667 Hi Greg, it would need to be looked at to be for sure. But it sounds like it might need to have the door kit installed and then you can start using the filters if you wanted to do that. If you have a regular shop you use, you might swing by and ask them to take a look at it for you and you can even have them do the door install and the first filter and then after that you could do it and then on out. If it does have the space for the door and you'd like to go after it the door kits come with the instructions on how to use a utility knife to cut out the space for it. Thank you for letting us know 😌.

[@babarehner]

It is my understanding that the 2003-2010 does not have a cabin air filter, just a nonreplaceable screen. There is a kit to modify the ducts/plenum to add an air filter. So please change the start of the Cabin Air Filter Replacement to 2010. Good quality video but I do feel a little miffed since I ordered a filter and no slot to install it- at least until I cut one out.

[@Craigs_car_care]

That's a good point, there are many conversations in this group where we talk about some have to have the factory slot cut out and the "kit" a door and a screw plus the filter installed. Some readers have a shop do the part that cuts out the slot for the door in the factory working and then from then on they do their own filters several others have actually taken a standard utility knife and cut the slot out themselves and added the aftermarket door and screw themselves. If you have the slot on your 2010 don't give up on having a filter installed so you can have cleaner air from now on out. Thanks for posting great question great comment. We appreciate your feedback.

No cabin filter in a 2009 Chevy Silverado .....EVER .....!!

[@barinvonforegger4258]

From what I've found, the 2008 Chevy Silverado doesn't have a cabin air filter. The filters aren't available on any Silverado models between 2007-2013. You will have to cut away some plastic to mod your ventilation system. Ughhhh!

[@Craigs_car_care]

Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes and No. We have learned that different parts of the world have different options for cabin air filters. Many of the US models either came with them from factory or like you mentioned the owner has to add the kit by removing a plastic cut out area and adding a door and the first filter.

[@JesusRamirez-sg9om]

This is Jesus I can't find the cabin air filters on a2009 Chevy Malibu

[@Craigs_car_care]

Hi Jesus, I would have to look around to be sure, but I don't recall the 09 Malibu having a cabin air filter from the factory.
