Where is the cabin filter located on a 2003 silverado. Pictures???? Is it behind the glove box???

I may be wrong about this, but I recall reading on here a while back that GM dropped the cabin filters for the 03+ model years. Can anyone confirm this? Damned cost cutting -- that's a feature I like about my 00... that and the under hood light that I think they also cut for 03+.

Yep, they did not put one in on the 2003 models. You are right - it is cost cutting...things like the underhood light, cabin filter, etc. that they removed but the price of the truck goes up...now it is $15 for a spare tire lock that came standard on the 2002 and prior models.

Where is it on a 2000?

Edit: I think I found it - under the kick plate, passenger side, 2 filters?

putting that screw back in right over the transmission hump is a PITA

why does everyone complain about that stupid underhood light? it is basically useless anyways - I just keep a flashlight in the truck and use that if I need to look under the hood at night.

although i did like the in cabin air filter, i thought that i heard there were a lot of problems with the heat/ac cause people wouldnt change the filters...

I have now found the hump screw does not even need to be loosened and only the right 2 need to be removed then the housing will pull down entirely out of the way. Then the strap holding the filters also does not need to be unscrewed, just use a flat blade driver to pop the top of the latch off then move it out of the way ... only takes abt 10mins to replace the filters now

Do all of the 1999 Sierra models have the filter? I assume it is located under the dash, behind the black plastic cover that is under the glove box and is held on by three 7mm screws. Am I correct in my assumption? Is the filter visible or is it encased in something?

Thanks
