I used an Ontario Model 1 pocket knife, and razor to cut out that slot. It was a 20 minute job.
Fantastic work.
THE BEST video. This is probably my 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali also.
Thank you for posting your video. I had no clue what i was up against. Now i can tackle the task.
Once you do it one time it will be no problem after that.
Great DYI. My son-in- law trashed my truck on a hunting trip! Filters are thrashed! With Covid would rather do it myself! Thxs
Yes sir, you are welcome.
Good video and the explanation is very very good it's like a teacher or something like that Thank you for the information
Good Morning , Thank you very much for the kind words. Were happy to be of service :) .
Thank you for the video it was helpful and saved me money by doing it following your instructions. 👍
Hi Jason thanks for the shout-out glad we could be of help
Great job, and very easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.
Great job. I'm going to change my filter myself now. Our local shop no longer change filter due to cov 19 .when you get a oil change
Good job. Very helpful and informative. I'll be doing this replacement next oil change. It'll be much easier thanks to your video.
Thank you Bill. glad to be of service.
Thanks. Everyone has videos for the next gen Silverado, not this gen. #Basicpeople #hero
CZcams did it again !!! And you Sir are the man
Good Morning J Sosa , Thanks for the shout out! :) We love being able to help.
Good Morning J Sosa , Thanks for the shout out! :) We love being able to help.
Just watched the cabin air filter video. Probably the most complete and concise help video I have ever seen. Susbscribed to your channel, plan on using more in the future. Thanks
Thank You Thomas
@@Craigs_car_care Unfortunately, when I dropped the bottom cover, there was no trap door. A note in the filter box said a retrofit kit was required and to consult my local filter retailer. The local NAPA folks did not have a clue, nothing in their system had a reference. They placed a call with their support group and are waiting for a response.
@@thomasagainesiii2559 good morning Thomas, that is not entirely uncommon where it needs the thin factory cut out area removed the small razor blade and you go back with a plastic door and screw along with the new filter. Let me have your year make and model and I'll look it up on this end. Back in the notes and description areas I believe we have the kit numbers reference.
@@Craigs_car_care Thanks for the response. It is a 2007 Silverado, 4WD, small V8.
@Thomas A Gaines III First since your year model is right on the edge take a look behind the glove box to make sure there is not a door there first. If not, then the Kit number is a NOE 6002504 for a door and carbon type filter or a NOE6002503 for the basic door and filter. the difference is the filter type. both doors are the same. You can go to napaonline.com and put in these numbers to see and read about the difference. Keep in mind there are 5 small V-8 variations and I am assuming it is a 1500 regular cab. I looked at three different service systems and none of them give an absolute location but behind the glove box or under the dash like in the video are the tow places we have found them.
Well my air conditioner has turned bad and hubby said I needed a new cabin filter for my 2011 Chevy Suburban. Since NO ONE has ever told me it’s a thing, I’m looking into it and plan on replacing it myself tomorrow! I will get back with you on how it goes and how much it costs me.
Okay here is the update, I have a 2011 Chevy Suburban LT, 1500, I opened up the cover under the glove compartment and learned that the slot the cabin air filter would be in is there but sealed and not made to open. I also looked behind the glove compartment and found nothing. So to get my air conditioning to work properly I’ll take it in to my mechanic, so it will cost much more than just a filter. ($40-$50).
Update to my update! The mechanic couldn’t find a cabin air filter either! Turns out we had a pinhole in the line to the back of the suburban. Before I would have to replace the entire line to the back but now they make a patch for less than half price! So for about $300 we have air conditioning in my suburban again!
Would be helpful if you mentioned the year of the truck. 🤡
Update to the update, my Suburban 1500 LT and it has NO CABIN AIR FILTER. And it cost us $300 to fix the air conditioning.
After more research found out that there is no factory-installed cabin filter in the 2013 Silverado 1500. That explains why the chamber for the filter is sealed. Must cut it out and install the filter with a cover cap.
Great information and thanks for sharing. Strangely enough the 2013 I am working on in the video did come with it. We gave up depending on the books and always look first. Appreciate you taking the time to do the research and sharing the information Steven.
Hello, my Silverado C 2500 2007 has the area where the filter would go solid shot, no groove to guide me for the cut, and it did not have the lid. so the space to receive the filter is there, unless I would have to cut the area so I could place the filter. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing..Great efforts
I had my truck serviced and asked where the cabin filters are and the response was your truck does not have one but NOW I know there is one its just knowing where it is to replace it it Thanks a Bunch Craigs Car Care.
It may not have the door installed and just need a kit. Thanks for sharing and let us know what you find.
👍 nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to be a service. Thanks for the shout out.
You had already replaced the filter before but the first time you do this is a pain. The filter is sealed from the factory and you need to cut the cover off with a utility knife and then buy a new filter and cover. The filter is around $15 but the cover runs around $35! The first change out is really a pain but future changes are a breeze.
Great point Nash, Not all of them have to be cut the first time. In the shop we see about 10-20% have to be cut unless they all do it at the dealer when they are still under warranty and just some get pass that step. But yes it is a pain
That's why I can't find it on my truck.... with 257xxxkm
nasty....wooow, looking forward change mine out. I when out check mine 2011 have same similar set up as your, thank you sooo much.
Hi Muster Seeds, It is really crazy what you can find when you change out a really old filter. If they are old and dirty enough , we sometimes have to also vacuum them out. (Be careful not to damage the evaporator core) Thanks for posting.
Did you actually had that option, or you had to retrofit?
It would have been really helpful if you mentioned up front that some trucks require the retrofit kit. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to get to a filter that my 2013 truck does not even have.
Sorry David, great point. Were you going to put in the kit?
Agree. Wasted a bunch of time myself and no cabin filter on my 13 Silverado.
Craig, thanks for this video. JZ
Your welcome Jim, happy to be of service :)
Thanks, this will save me $77.00 less the filter of course for the dealer to do it.... Just looking to hack away from that $1800 estimate for a variety of things that are due to be done.
Sure thing 👍. Glad to help.
"It's okay if you wanna say some cuss words on why they designed it this way. I do it every day." That's Gold! 😂
I won't feel so much like a weekend warrior-shade tree mechanic as the air turns blue around me and pirates everywhere begin to blush.
Silver ponyKat you just made my day. 😁🤣😂😎 Thank you
@@Craigs_car_care No problem and you're welcome. Swearing just comes as part of the process. Glad I'm not the only one that does it and others can admit to it. Lol 😆
@@Craigs_car_care I seen from the other comments that you are outside of Dallas. I'm just outside of Houston. Just got done fixing my truck- '07 GMC 1500 Crew Cab. The cover had 4 screws- 1 will not be put back in because how difficult it was getting it out- and it's another one with no filter from the factory. After trying to cut it open and nearly amputated the tip of my thumb, decided that's something better left til daylight. Grabbed a wad of take out napkins and electrical tape to bandage it to stop the bleeding. I was actually trying to replace the blower resistor so the fan would come on when I turn the switch.... Got that done and in the process found a half bottle of QT sweet tea a visitor left under the passenger seat during her stay 3 months ago. Argh!
Good news! No stitches necessary in the thumb and I feel I deserve a glass of wine for my effort. Yes there was plenty of colorful language involved and likely more tomorrow when I try again to open up the slot for the filter. As long as the cover is off, might as well do both, right?
Thank's for you hep.
Great video. Question: If they are meant to be changed, why are they sealed from the factory? My 2011 Suburban was just at the Stealership for an air bag recall. While there, they offered to do about $700 worth of "tune ups," which I had my preferred garage do a week ago. 😁 The cabin filter was on the list for about $50, so I asked them to do it. They came back later and said it needed a kit and they couldn't do it. If a Chevy Stealership cannot do it, then.......What. The. Heck?!?!?! 😡
Hi John, You ask a great question. I have no answer for why they could not do it, maybe they do not keep the door kit in stock or maybe the case on yours is really different? Ask your regular shop to look into it next time your in for service and go from there. So for some reason and one I have never got a response that makes sense, some vehicles did not come from the factory with the door precut with a filter and a door already in place. Over the years I have also found trucks with 5000 to 20000 with a door but never had a filter in there, with the client stating they owned the truck new and no one ever asked about it until we asked if they would like a cabin air filter installed and we get that puzzled look and have to take them to the truck to show them the empty slot:). Thanks for posting.
NO FILTER in my 2014 Tahoe, so I got Napa Kit #6002503 for $55, Comes with Instructions, Filter, Door and Screw. Kind of a pain to remove the cut-out but got it done in an hour.
Great work KP! Just filters from here on out. (I never understood why all of them just did not come with the door installed.)
Thanks for this, bud!
You are welcome Jonathan.
Thank you for the reply. I looked in the area again and seen the spot that is marked to be cut out to install the filter. Will order a retro kit for my truck. thanks again and will use the video you have posted. I hit the like and subscribe also.
Thanks again.
Terry
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Great explanation!
Thanks for the shout out Mike glad we could help.
Not in pre 14 chevy 2500 either. Wished there was one .
Good video
I see gm forgot to put filter in. It is a pretty good job to get one installed and I will do this myself.
@@markclarke1507 It takes about 30 minuets if it just needs the cut out done and install the doors kit. I have not found a rhyme or reason why some do have it and some don't. Thanks for posting.
FYIU - 2013 Avalanche Black Diamond LTZ trucks do not have a replaceable cabin filter. The Avalanche will come up on most filter manufacturers' application guides, but the bottom of the housing is solid. The raised screw hole is there for the lower plate, but there's no place to insert the filter - the housing is solid plastic.
Thanks Tom for the information. Just makes you scratch your head,why they have it on one model but not another. .
You bet! Thanks for the great video. It was almost too easy to lower the cover and check before I ordered a filter. Evidently they changed it in the later production Avalanche models. I had a 2008 and I'm pretty sure it had a filter slot in the housing. I wonder if Tahoes/Suburbans and their GMC & Cadillac counterparts have filter slots in the housing?
@@TomDanner on some models they sold a filter door and screw. You could cut out the slot and start using filters. Thanks again for sharing. Have a good weekend.
So, I don’t need to change it for a black diamond
@@pd1easy If it does not have a door you can just leave it as is. If you would like to have a filter and the screw hole is there and the loop catch is on the other end you can get a kit to install one. The kit does require the case to be cut and it can be a good idea to have a service center do it for you. After that you can replace your own filters .
Muchas gracias por su ayuda muy bien explicado
Denada amigo😀
I have a 2007 suburban, there are 2 ac delco filters to choose from, cf193c and cf194, how do I know which one my car takes?
The CF194 is a standard filter The CZ193C is a carbon filter (about $8-10 dollars more) that is supposed to help with smells/odors but both should work.
Great job
Thanks Tony. :) Glad to be of service.
Does this effect the ac from blowing? My ac works but it doesn’t blow out the vents. Like I can put my hand to it and feel a little air coming out but that’s it. Never mind I see you already answered this question towards the bottom of the comments haha thank you
Still a great question.
Does a 2500HD Diesel have one and where is it located? I have torn my underneath apart and just wondering where it is, so I can replace my filter. None of my routine service folks to include my local Chevy dealer never mentioned it to me. Appreciate the help.
Bill when I look it up by application and with a diesel there's the same part numbers there and that would stand to reason that the cases inside there are the same so it should be able to take one. it may be it did not originally come with one and you need to get the filter with the door and make the cut out so you can start using a filter and the door that comes with the new one. It might be worth it for the first time to take it by a shop near you and have the conversation with them to see if that's what it is with yours. what they'll be looking for is the loop in the back or a access door would flash into and the screw hole on the other end where it can be closed up. Good luck and thanks for sharing
@@Craigs_car_care thanks and will take it by my local mechanic, who is good and I trust.
Is this the same on all 2013 Chevy Duramax 2013. I cant see how to drop the cover off. mine also does not have a screw in there. Maybe someone just didn't replace it. All that to say I cant figure our how it will come off.
Good Morning Christopher, Great question and yes it is. I think yours has not been done yet. I am attaching the last post notes form Louis that asked the same question. "You hit the nail on the head! You can probably do the retro fit kit that is nothing more than carefully cutting the plastic area where the filter goes and then adding a door with a screw from a readily availibal kit and of course the filter. Many folks have their favorite shop do the retro kit then keep up with the filter changes after that theme self's. NAPA parts #6002501 Good/ #6002502 Better/ #6002504 Best NAPA Cabin Air Filter door kit #6002500"
Can a dirty cabin air filter make the AC blow warm? Because mine will blow cold then blow warm, it goes back and forth back and forth doing that and it's not the freon I've checked that and it's full.
That's a great question but I can't recall a dirty cabin air filter causing the hot cold symptom you are describing. Could be anything from a bad pressure switch causing the compressor to turn on and off or a blend door motor that is failing or a broken door that flops back and forth. The broken door is the most likely cause of what you're experiencing. They're made of plastic and we replace theses often. Great question thanks for posting
Cameron C my old 2005 used to go through heat/AC modules. Had to do 4 or 5 while I owned it. Mine was like $140?? There is a cheaper version but depends on what style controls you have.
Thanks. Big help!
Your Welcome Pete. :)
Glad it helped!
Your video shows this for 2013-2017 models. I own a 2012 Silverado Z71 LT model. Would it be the same on my truck as you showed us in your video?
Mdnv01 I show a part number from Napa NOE 6002501 /02 and a kit to add in the door NOE 6002504/03. It would be in the same area. Worth taking a look. Thanks for the question and have a great weekend.
mdnv01 I have a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab with a 5.3L V8 and I found that it did not have a cabin air filter on it I looked behind the glove box and also looked underneath the compartment under the lockbox took that cover off and there was no cabin air filter to be found. I looked it up on the web and it said that my vehicle possibly does not have a cabin air filter
Wildhog32, tanx for that info. I'll look into it further. Tanx again.
Thanks!💪😎🇺🇲
I found a filter for the cabin air recirculation behind the glove box on my 2012 k2500. Is that filter replaceable?
See if it has a number on it you can cross reference. As long as you can find the replacement then heck yea. It is weird where some filters are despite the year model. Thanks for sharing Bradley.
@@craigzale4345 no number... Just a piece of black foam... It would be super easy to make one or blow it out. It has no part number and isn't available from the dealer. Also, 2012 k2500 crew cabs don't have the cabin filter below because the fan wouldn't have enough velocity to cool the people in the back seat. But, you can cut out the bottom plate and add one... I learned that from the dealer today.
Would this cause the air to stop blowing? It feels cool, but the AC stopped blowing.
Hi Josie, This has to do with the force of the air and not the temperature. If the force or volume/amount of the air is less than it can be a very dirty filter. Great question thanks for posting.
I have a 2013 Chevy 2500hd and im looking to change this filter. I followed your instructions but that small screw that you take off for the housing where the filter is mine doesn't have that.
Yours probably has not had the cutout and might need the kit installed for the first time. Many people will have a shop do it the first time and then after that you can change it your self. Hope this helps and thanks for posting.
@@Craigs_car_care thanks a lot, i actually bought the kit and cut the piece out with a box cutter and small hacksaw. Filter/kit worked perfectly, Thanks again!
@@gw4287 Fantastic! :) great job and glad it went well. You would think they would just put these in all the trucks as standard equipment. Thanks for the update.
@@Craigs_car_care absolutely, My 02 has one and was surprised this 1 did not. Keep giving the advice, very helpful!👍👍
My 08 gmc didn't come with a filter or access door I guess gm found another way to cut cost
Sorry to hear:(
Good video
Thank you Luis.
will replacing this will get rid of the odor that comes out when the ac turns on
Sure is good place to start. Every week we see all kinds of cabin air filters that have been in the dash un change for years. Old filters are breeding ground for mold bacteria from dog hair and dust cat hair and even rode it droppings in urine. So if yours has not been replaced in the last 10,000 miles pull it out and see what you got. Also check where the air comes in usually just behind the hood at the base of the windshield make sure that area is all clean and clear also. If it's nasty clear off all the debris you can with a vacuum and a brush or a broom then rinse it well with water as it is designed for rain but also be sure to check inside the dash when you use a little bit to make sure the AC drain is not stopped up and letting water get back in behind the carpet that could also cause a smell.
My 2014 chevy suburban did not have a air filter door? Looks like I will be spraying smell good until I sell it.
Good afternoon, Sorry to hear the door has not been put in yet. On a few models it was found behind the glove box. You may also have the option to have the "kit installed" that has a pre set sut out removed and a door put in its place so a filter can be added. Thanks for the shout out.
Hello I have a 2012 gmc Sierra Craig, do you have a video showing how to replace the cabin filter?
Good afternoon John, I am sorry we do not, however the set ups are very similar as GMC and Chevy trucks use a very similar case assy.
2012 would have a glued in cover .Would have to modify to install filter.
@@bobgebhardt6797 thanks Bob, I figured it out. I had to cut a piece of plastic for the filter to go in. 😊😊😊
Nice video. Did silverados have cabin filters in 2005?
If they did it would have been behind the glove box.
Why am I reading online that my 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT does not have such a filter? They were saying that the 07 and up don't have a filter???
Reese we run into this many times a year where one manual will say it does not have a part as an option then will look in the parts catalog and find where it could have the cabin air filter and the final say so is when you go to the location and just take a look. It would be nice to have some more consistency over the years. Take a look behind your glove box and see if you can find the door for the cabin air filter. Great question and thanks for posting.
Okay sounds good, thank you!
@@reesekegley3622 Just for giggles I looked up a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT and found some part numbers. If you do have a place for it the cabin air filter the Napa part number is NOE 6002501 and the filter cover # is a NOE 6002500
Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
I have a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.3 L V8 and it does not have a cabin air filter I checked behind the glove box and under the glove box console and there was no cabin air filter there either
I did all that and my damn 2013 yukon xl cabin is sealed. What do i do now please
Hi Satx, yep that sucks when the factory or the dealer did not do the cut out. There are several threads in the comments where others have asked the same question. There is a kit that has a door, small screw and a filter. This allows you or your shop to cut out the factory sealed area and install the first filter and then have a door for future filter replacements. Many have had a shop do the cut out and the first filter then after that be able to replace all future filters them selves. NAPA Cabin Air Filter door #6002500 is what the door looks like. Amazon also has some kits too listed in this video description. Hope this info helps and thanks for posting.
Any suggestions on were it is on a 2013 Silverado 2500. It's not under the dash.
The one were demonstrating here is a 2013 2500 HD gas motor. It should be there but I suppose there can be an exception. It maybe one that has not had the cut out and kit installed. There are many comments in the string that discusses about how to identify if the door is not there and a few different options for removing the blank plate that gets cut out with a razor blade and a door installed with one screen I know of course the filter.
@@Craigs_car_care
Thanks for the reply. I think I will leave it be and not worry about changing it.
Craig my Silverado has no cabin filter and no provision to retrofit one without replacing all of the plastic pieces that let the air flow. Chevy dealer told me some came through like that. If I want to do this will have to visit a salvage yard for all the plastic pieces. Typical auto companies saving money at the expense of their customers who are doit yourselfers.
Dang, it must have been a production thing for the available or unused surplus parts.
@@Craigs_car_care yeah but it becomes very frustrating as I do a lot of the work myself. And this vehicle is new/used to me just recently bought at 51740 miles. Went and changed air filter no problem, started looking on CZcams found a lot of videos to change cabin filter,but all I saw did not match to what I have. Very discouraging.
@@peterputnam3804 I hear you Peter that's definitely a bummer and with those low miles that's practically brand new. If you're going to keep it now might be the time to just go ahead and do it so from here on out you will be able to have that filter to change. On the other hand we went 30 plus years without cabin air filters and seem to be breathing just fine so there is that also :-). Thanks for all the commentary and feedback.
EAy fu where is going the cabin filter for 2010 Chevy Silverado?
And how can I change the relate for the cabin filter ?
Good Morning Alejandro, Ok the 2010 did not come with a cabin air filter from the factory, but there is a kit to add it. First check in the same area as this video. If there is no door you have to carefully cut out the plastic area then instal the filter and door. GM's parts kit number is 22759208 filter kit with the instructions and the new door and screw but does not come with a filter. Those part numbers are 22759203 for the regular filter or 23101674 for the carbon media filter that helps keep the musty smells down. There are also plenty of aftermarket option to get the door and filter for the first installation then after that you only need to buy a filter as needed. Napa Auto Parts part number for the kit and filter is 6002503 but i do not know if it comes with instructions. Great question and good luck with the install. A a side note you could have a shop do the first install for you then after that you would only have to replace the filter as needed.
@@Craigs_car_care thank you men
It should be noted that not 07-13 Chevy pickup has an air filter. There is an aftermarket version you can buy, to put one in. My 2013 Silverado has a blank space where the air filter and its attachment would go (came from the dealer like that).
enigma6482 so, how do an individual put a new filter in there
I am in the middle of it. it looks to me that someone may have changed it at some point by never put the cover on it to hold the filter in. there is no cover at this time and I cant get the old filter to pull out/ 2013 GMC 11500 p/u. is it possible to pry this filter out ? I am with you up to 4:17 to 4;20. no little 1/4 inch screw and can see the empty slot on fire wall where the cover would slide in. Help Please..
Hey Robert, that's not uncommon for that door not to get put back on. You can get a new one at your local auto parts store and it'll come with a screw when you get your new filter. If you can touch and feel the filter go ahead and start pulling it out and trying keep it together as good as possible. The filters are kind of flimsy so it may tear especially if it's really old. Once it's all out you may have to clean the area with a vacuum cleaner if it's that old.
thanks for your reply it was original and never had the cover. I had to cut it out with a razor knive first. then now that I have the opening cut out, guess what/ GMC never put one in it to begine with.. my condenser looks pretty diirty I am going to spray some goo gone on it to soak over night and then try to brush it lightly with a tooth brush and suck it out with my small shop vac. 10 years and never had a filter in it.. I bought it when it was 5 years old. wish I could take it to GMC and tell them Here Replace the system.. sometimes wish I were a lawyer lol
@@robertauty4496 Oh wow! Ill bet it blows a bit harder now. Thanks for the update Robert.
This is not how to do it on a 2017 Chevrolet Pickup. You have to remove the entire glove box and the filter slides in parallel to the floor board. The fours screws you take out are easily done, however getting the plastic cover off (snaps off) is a pain as there are wires all over near it that have to be moved; both to get it out and put it back in. Not that difficult, but I would think Chevrolet could have come up with an easier way. Potential is there to strip the threads when putting screws back in.
Hi TK Mort, thanks for the update and you are correct. We have updated to use 2014 as the last date. I do agree that Chevy should have routed the wiring away from the door since they knew this would pulled off once or twice a year. Also it drives me crazy to try and not dump the contents of the glove box when servicing this stuff. Several Euros have the cabin air filter under the hood with a 5 minuets flip up door to swap out the filter, that make it way easier to do. Thank you again for update and sorry for any confusion.
@@Craigs_car_care Both Toyotas I own, simple, one screw, compartment drops down, pull cover off vent, replace filter, put back together, put screw back in..done. Takes about 10 minutes.
Thank for show me
You're very welcome we appreciate you taking the time to watch and maybe even subscribe :-)
My beater 2011 extended cab 4x4 LB duramax does not have a cabin filter.
Does it have the place where you can add in the kit and a filter?
@@Craigs_car_care no clue. I’ll have to research that.
@@Craigs_car_care unfortunately it doesn’t.
@@motoscro951bummer, thanks for the update.
I have a 08 Tahoe 6.2 with no cabin filter any ideas??
There is a part number (Napa- 6002501 filter only or 6002504 with a filter and a door) with and without the kit (door) so it may need to be cut out. Also, it could be behind the glove box area. If you cannot locate it, you can have a shop find it and show you where it is or where the cut out is. After that you can replace the filter yourself.
@@Craigs_car_care thank you very much. I appreciate your reply.👍🏽
Could not get access to the existing filter on my 2013 Silverado 1500. The opening was sealed with hard plastic. There was no cover plate. The cover plate is a separate purchase and would be installed after replacing the filter. Anyone have tips on how to cut through the plastic to access the existing filter? In one video I saw, the fellow cut the plastic out with a hack saw. Tough job!
The compartment is empty. You have to install a filter
We use a small rotary cutter but others have used a utility knife with a new razor blade with success.
@@Craigs_car_care where are you located? My local chevy dealership will NOT do it and I know the filters dirty.

Looked for my cabin air filter I my 2014 2500 HD GMC Sierra Denali diesel and where every one shows it, my does not have one that I can find. How can you look up your truck to see if your model has one or not.
I do not have the upper glove box and when I pull the lower kick panel down, I do not have a screw or door to open to pull a filter out. it is all one piece. When I go on line it shows a part number and how to replace for a 2014 GMC but nothing looks like my truck in that area.
even went to gm parts direct and do not see anything that states what models have and don't have this filter.
Don't have mush hair to pull out and about ready to yell.
Hi Terry, It sounds like you may have a place to do the door and filter install, rather than it having already been done. When I look up a 20/GMC/Sierra 2500 HD 6.6 I Can find Napa part numbers NOE is the line code / 6002504 is the part number or you can use 6002504 for a better filter. Both kits come with a door and the screw. czcams.com/video/ZvtzIPab8wI/video.html This is a good video on how to do the retro kit. I hope this helps. Thanks for posting
ALLEN IL on 2013 silverado cant find filter or how to get to it
That's interesting. Was the truck built in the US, Mexico or Canada? We have heard from some others that for some reason their truck that was very similar did not have a filter also.
@@Craigs_car_care I think I’ve got the same problem. I can see where it’s supposed to be but there’s no plate to remove. There appears to be a delete glued into where the filter would go. Yay Chevy
@@f-150yeti2 LOL, Yep you can get the kit (door and screw) then carefully do the cut and add in a filter and the door and screw kit and you are good to go from then on.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 LT Crew Cab 4 x 4. All the other videos that “said” were for my truck were not like mine they said you had to remove the glove apartment but I could tell my set up was different so I didn’t bother. Yours was the ONLY video that was, or I thought...
It’s 95% the same except the very last stage, there are not two screws to takeoff to access and drop the filter it all looks completely sealed to me with no access so I’m just confused!!! Update: CRAP! I just noticed my filter is called “retrofit filter” so I’m guessing my truck did not come with one...
Good Morning Louis, you hit the nail on the head! You can probably do the retro fit kit that is nothing more than carefully cutting the plastic area where the filter goes and then adding a door with a screw and of course the filter. Many folks have their favorite shop do the retro kit then keep up with the filter changes after that theme self's.

@@Craigs_car_care I can cut the panel out. I have the filter. Buying a new panel with screws when I can fabricate one out of just about any material, if not duct taping the cut out piece back on, should do me fine :)
But I have to ask you, and i applaud your ability to respond to your commenters, that got you another subscriber, exactly WHAT prevented debris and dust and whatever from being sucked up there without one??? Makes me wonder why bother...
And does it filter for both outside and recirculated air? Thanks, you’re GREAT!!!
@@louisp.3332 NAPA Cabin Air Filter door kit #6002500 is the door kit from Napa that comes with a door and screw. But it is also available from many other places also. $10.00 to $30.00 US Dollars (Duct tape will work but may come loose when running the heater. Thanks for the response .:)
@@Craigs_car_care so the AC Delco filter says to install opposite what you show, notches face in???
@@louisp.3332 Great question Lewis, there should be a little embossed piece for the new screw to tap into and a small notch on the opposite end for the door to latch over.
This apply to 2013 avalanche?
That's a good question. It is a very similar air box as the pickups. Check with your local parts store or look up a cabin air filter by your Avalanche application to see if it shows one available.
I have a 2013 suburban and this not how you access the cabin filter
Great information. How do you get to yours? Post so others looking will have a second place to look.
Strange, I have a 2013 Silverado 2500 and it doesn't look anything like that under the kicker cover. Not even the same shape.
Wow that's is really weird! Does it fit well? I have found a few where someone had actually put two smaller filters in theirs. I replaced it with just the signal one. Please let us know if you are in the states or the truck was imported in. Thanks for the update. Late 2014s and newer are behind the glove box and are a bit different.. Hope we did not cause you to much trouble.
@@Craigs_car_care No, I'm in the States. I think there simply is no cabin air filter in this model (it's a work truck). I watched a video on the later behind-the-glove-box style and I don't have that style of glove box, also I can see enough behind the glove box to see there is no air filter cover there. I have a photo, but basically, where your truck has a filter access door, mine has a curved, molded plastic housing that has place to put a rectangular cut-out.
@@DrConifer ok, guess they just did not put them in all the trucks
Thank you for the update Doctor.
GMC Sierra is different, there's no way to drop the door down like that, I've looked on both ends, and nothing there
Hey John thanks for posting, it may be that it never had one installed from the factory but the slot made be there in just need to be cut out and then have a door and filter at it. Next time by your local shop ask them if it has the place for the cut out and if it does either you or them can do the first install and then after that it's just changing the filters in the future. If you get it looked at check back in and let us all know what you found thanks again for sharing.
@@Craigs_car_care thanks much, I just got it in February, and was going to change it, I didn't know they didn't come with it, thanks again

Funny thing, They told me that my tahoe didnt have a cabin filter....go figure.
Hi Thanks for posting, It may not Jean if the "cut out" was never done. There is a kit that can be installed so you can start using a filter. Or did you go in there and find one already in place? You can call your shop and ask them about this.
Leave it to the drunks at gm to make a system where you cant replace a filter, what a joke
Good afternoon, I am still laughing. :) Something that is designed to be inspected or replaced every 5,000 to 10,000 miles should be easy to get to and just a latch to get it out. We work on things everyday where we say to our self "What were they thinking when they designed this!!!!!" Thanks for posting you made my day. :)
@@craigzale4345 anytime, glad my visit brought some cheer lol
My 2011 Tahoe does not have one!
Hi Andy, It should have the place to do the update that is removed with a utility knife type of tool and then the updated door and a new filter can be installed. The Napa part numbers for the filter and door kit are 6002504 or 602503 depending what quality of filter you wants. Many folks will have the update done by a shop then start replacing the filters them selves after that. You can have your shop look into it and advise if in fact it is capable of the update.
