For those of you who don't believe in the cab filters lol

[tanked_darren]

Hi y'all I used to own a 2007 GMC but since moved to Ford back in '14...

 

 

Anyways I still work on GM trucks at my work site and they get put through a lot of punishment that's for sure!

 

Below you will find pics of the cab filter I pulled out of this 2016 Silverado with just over 8000km lol. (Its first service)

For anyone wondering here was the engine air filter...

Wow........mine at 9k was no where near that bad. Wouldn't want to breath that in.

It's all about the environment the vehicle lives in..

You are breathing that in - a little bit at a time.

Yea i have seen worse but thats pretty bad. I work as a computer tech. you wouldnt believe how totally nasty the inside of a tower case will get after years of running. The really gross ones are from people that smoke.

 

 

When i bought my old 2000 Sierra the guy had rarely changed the cabin air filters and it had 100,000 miles. When i opened the flap and pulled the filters out it had enough pine needs and stuff fill a small bucket. how the a/c ever worked in the first place was beyond me.

How easy is it to replace this filter in a 2015? I went to my local advance auto but they didn't have any in stock.

Really easy. You have to drop the lower glove box door down. Behind it is another door that just pops off inside that is the filter it just slides out. Look at the 3rd picture above. He has actually removed the lower glove box to get to it.

 

OP. are these trucks used in coal mining or the oil sands by chance?

[Doobs41378]

Yeah it is easy. Lots of youtube videos on it to walk you through it too.

[dasimmon]

crazy!

Ya they are used in the coal industry. Things get nasty quick here!

 

 

 

To the poster above wondering about how to change - you will need a torx bit to remove the lower glove box, there are 2 screws on top (you'll need to open the top box) and there are 2 screw below.

 

Then you can pull the lower glove box out, behind that is a rectangular door that is clipped on, you pull back on the top 2 clips to open the door to get the filter.

 

 

Make note. The direction of airflow is down. So when you put the new one in remember that there is an arrow on the filter just like a house furnace filter.

I changed mine shortly after i bought the truck. It was used with 16000k. Shocked was beyond words.

And to think, people were all excited about the tundra that went a million miles. He's got nothing on your truck
