Check before you order filters. Some are non removable. The air box is a sealed unit.
David Ehrhart 8
You are correct, mines is sealed.
Thats an important tip
03 and newer do not have filters.
You are right my 2003 chevy 2500 HD that I bought new has a sealed unit. It has the dual climate co troll in it! I just thought after 16yrs I'd change it but it'll remain as is.
air pressure coming from my 2001 tahoe vents was not much at all. watched your video & bought some filters.. now she's blowing like a high priced hooker... thanks buddy
Haha that's awesome, glad to help man!
" blowing like a high priced hooker " Love it!! Gotta remember that one.
Jeremy Stone best comment ever!
love it lol
I have that same issue with my 01 Silverado, hardly no air flow, from my a/c vents, I'm gonna check my truck tomorrow and replace if my truck has these filters!!!
Wish I had seen this years ago! Another little tip I learned when changing the filters on my ‘02… When removing the 7mm screws on the access cover, take out the 2 screws that are easily accessible. But for that 3rd screw that’s harder to get to above the “hump” on the floor, DO NOT totally remove the screw. Just loosen it enough to swing the cover out of the way to access the filters. Save yourself a lot of time and headaches trying to rethread that 3rd screw.
On mine the 3rd (difficult) screw was missing, so after changing the filters and reinstalling the two easily-accessible screws, I inserted a carpenter’s wedge between the carpeting and the bottom of the cover to snug it up. Next time I need to change these filters I’ll simply remove the wedge, remove the 2 easy screws and be done with the task in under 15 minutes.
Thank you for the tips. Fixing to replace cabin filters on my 2000 Silverado. 102,xxx on the odometer. I'm sure it's bad. Many thanks
On my truck when I got the the third screw, the one that is hard to get to I did one swift yank, pulled the cover off around the screw, did the air filter then put it back up with only 2 screws instead of three, now I never have to deal with that headache or think twice about it again
Never had to remove the 3rd screw either, just make sure you don’t rip the plastic
How important is the access cover? Previous owner must have thrown it away or possibly stripped the screws I have no idea. But it’s not there anymore lol
Had a real mouse problem because the 2002 sat unused for a long time. The smell was about as bad as a box of cat pee. Paid to have the system cleaned out, but the smell was still so bad my wife wouldn't ride in the truck. Check the repair order and noticed they hadn't replaced the cabin filters. Followed your instructions and it was a no brainer. Gonna visit the shop this afternoon and show them the pictures. Thanks a lot Tony.
Was there a mouse nest? If so how did you get it out?
You paid to have the system cleaned and they didn't do the main thing to clean the system?
Sounds like they sprayed some Simple Green in the vents and charged you.
Unbelieveable ! Even the GM dealer told me that my 2001 Silverado 2500 diesel truck had no cabin filters at all and there wasn't anything to clean or replace. I will take that panel and area apart and change the filters myself. BIG thanks for this video...really well done! Tim in Colorado
Yeah I’d be surprised if your truck didn’t have them. I did find out after making this video that the 03-13 trucks don’t have them for some reason. But being an ‘01, you should have them. Glad to help! You’ll have to let me know if you indeed have them or not.
18 years old with my truck and when I asked where the filter was they always told me in the glove compartment and I never found it now I think it’s time to change it. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much for this video, it's just what I needed! I already had bought the filters months ago but was dreading trying to figure it out. Thanks to your video, it was super easy. Looks like it was changed once in it's life, a 1999 Silverado, because the 2nd screw from the left was missing. (The one closest to the center tunnel that is hardest to get to). But this is the first time I've changed it since I've had the truck in 2010. TONS of leaves, dirt, pine needles etc. It blows twice as powerfully now! Thanks!!!
Thank you for this video. I was just going through some random videos when your video had came up on my rotation. I had never given any thought that my 2001 Suburban that I had bought two months ago would have cabin air filters. But thanks to your video, not only did I discover that I did have these filters, but also had given me the knowledge to know where they were, and how to remove them. I'm now on my way to the parts store to pick up a set. My old ones were very dirty, but I could tell that they've been replaced before.
Thank you so much! Not that long ago our car parts shops would help those of us, not mechanics, give us info or come out and help install the small things for us. Not anymore. Because of this video I'm saving $$ installing my filters myself!
Thanks a lot, I left the driver side screw only partially loosened and it worked out great. My old filters weren't quite as bad as yours but still definitely in need of changing, I'm glad to have new ones in there.
Amazing!!! Thank you! I've been having issues with our GMC's A/C air flow ever since I bought this thing second hand. I'm going to do this right away.
Very Helpful. I was able to install my filters in about as much time as it took to watch the video.
Thank You Much! Only other thing i used was an ice pick from the bottom to help get the second filter out. It was filthy ad wedged in there pretty good.
Why anyone would dislike this video is beyond me. This was a perfect how to video. Awesome job!!
Haha thanks! I’ll never know why, I thing some people just hit dislike because they can 😂
Ain’t that the friggin truth!!
THANKS!!!! I had no idea that my truck like yours even had inside filters like that!!!
Great simple step by step. Thx with growing cost on repairs the ones that are able to be done by the owner these kinds of videos are very helpful.
Perfect! Thank you. I’ll add, turning on the blower to clear out the debris worked great for me. It blew everything out, across my floormat, and right out the door. 😎👍🏻
Edited to add: 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax 4x4 (for reference)
I have a 1999 GMC Sierra 1500 w/ 5.3L Vortec V8. Your instructional video was super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to post this video!
Glad to help, thanks for the positive feedback!
Best how to video, I just did my filters after watching this video, Thanks for the tips, made my day much easier.
Thank you!
I’m so happy I happened upon your video! I followed what you did on my 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 that my dad left me. It was an Arizona truck on 5 acres of desert. I think 2 of those acres came out when I pulled the 2 filters out!! I had already replaced 2 actuators and that helped with the air flow a tiny bit but when I turned on the air after replacing the filters and vacuuming a ton of sand, it about blew my doors off! Lol ( more of a p.g. Version of your other commenter!😇) thank you!
Make sure you order the two small filters. For some reason, the filter book at my local O'Reilly's sells a single filter for my 2002 Dirty that is LARGER than the two original filters combined and the way you have to angle the filters up and back into the housing will not allow the single larger filter to be pushed up in there. I thought maybe they figgered out some economical way to turn the two filters into a single filter, so I bought it after visually checking. It's close, but not correct. You need the two smaller filters. Now I gotta go back. Because there's no such thing as a single trip to the gottdang parts house.
Man thanks for the vid my guy. During my process I only had to remove one screw that was holding the filters access door (7mm screw). I have cleaner air, better air flow! 100 👍👍👍.
Thanks for the video.I am getting ready to change the cabin filters on a 1999 silverado.
Your wife owes me a reach around
I was able to find and replace my cabin filters. Though mine were way more dirtier including pine needles.
Not anymore, I will be changing when I do a oil change.
Thank You, you were a big help. : )
Once a year is fine . No need to buy them 3-4 times a year
Thanks Tony nice video and great illustration how to change filters.
Thanks for the video! I just removed the 2 screw in the passenger footwell and pushed the cover down and and put my filters in at an angle and it worked great. My filters were the originals from 1999 and OMG were they nasty. I didn't even know it had cabin air filters.
How much do the filters cost?
I just replaced the filters on my 2001 Silverado and this video was very helpful. My truck doesn't have the center console as the one in the Video and it has a 4th screw holding in the cover that was on the far end of the drivers side. Other than that, everything went just great. Turning on the blower motor will blow out the leaves that are still in the duct and easy to vacuum up afterwards.
Mine doesnt have center console either
Great video. Thanks for calling out sizes of hex screws. It was nice to have the right sockets and wrenches in hand when starting this project.
Best thing about these trucks are they are always so simple to fix! Appreciate you for the video 🫡
Most of the time haha. Glad I could help!
That’s you I was stressing out why my ax was blowing really low once I seen your video installed the new cabin filter the ac blew strong ! Thank you
One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. I would have never found those filters without this video. Changed mine and they were dirtier than yours. I bought the truck new in 01 and they had never been changed.
I’m glad I was able to help you get them dirty things changed haha
Your video was great helped me bigtime, thanks Tony
2001 Tahoe as ipulled the back filter I heard a GROWL !! lol Thanks for this I was breathing so much crap that I wondered why Iwas always sneezing and ruinny nosedwith the blower on full Thanks!
Thanks a million for the video. Got up yesterday morning to go on a road trip with our 2002 GMC. The outside temperature was 20 degrees F. Started the truck to warm it up and 15 minutes later it was still cold as ice inside. There wasn't enough air coming out of the vents to blow a match out. The manual was next to useless on how to locate the cabin filter let alone replace it. Thanks to your video we are back in business and air through the vents is back to normal
Glad this resolved your issue! Thanks for the feedback!
Very much appreciated video to help me replace the 2 filters in my 2001 GMC Sierra C3. That 3rd screw nearest the driver's side was evil and I could not get the socket on it, but I was able to leave it in place and with the other 2 removed, could get behind the panel and remove the smaller screw holding the filter cover. Job accomplished!!
Evil screw 🤣🤣🤣 I'm using this everytime I come across difficult screw or screw bolt
It’s also a good idea to spray some Lysol when the filters are out after you vacuum all the shit out, kill all the molds, and bacteria in that chamber.
Smells purty tooo
Good idea!
Outstanding instructions! Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
I replaced my cabin filters this afternoon. Your right, they really needed changing. That transmission hump screw was hard to re-seat I used a small mirror to see where the hole was lined up and a bit of trimmed blue tape, I taped it to the socket. Lucky for me, I caught it the first try. Your instruction video was spot on. Now I have strong blowing fresh air. :)
Glad to hear. And yeah, that one screw proved to be a fight haha
2nd time replacing these filters. 2nd time, we watched the video for help.
Thanks for watching!
Didn't even know my truck had cabin filters. I will be checking this out asap!
Thanks
Thank for making this. Great help!
Bought A new 2001 Silverado Back In 01’ and sold it in 2014 never changed mine or even knew it had them lmao!!!
works great nice to listen while watching the proper way to change cabin filters thanks
I used to have a 98 Silverado that did not have air filters. I wish that it did because it was a lot of work cleaning the core with a brush and a water hose. I now have a 2001 Sierra and it does have a filter. I took it out and replaced it. The good news is with the filter vs no filter it saved me a ton of time and cleaning the core. Replacing is the easy part. Putting the cover back on and alining the screws was a bear. I ended up just leaving the middle screws out and only putting the end screws to the cover back on. It works fine and it's tight enough without any rattling noise. Good luck to anyone trying to put the cover back on with all the screws. Have fun!
Thanks for doing that one handed.
Great video!
Food for thought: Consider placing a towel or tarp, etc. on floorboard to prevent mess, while performing a procedure such as this. Also, a request to Santa for a air compressor would help on removing all the crapola hiding in those tight, hard to reach spaces! 😁👍
Thanks for the video. I can already hear my truck breathing a sigh of relief!😀🤣
Or just use a can of compressed air ti blow it out
A can of compressed air can do the trick ..the kind used to get the dust from between the keys on a computer keyboard
Excellent video also on the fram filters I purchased they had a foam pad around the outside. This made sliding the second filter in difficult due to the foam catching on each other. Remedied it by tearing off a piece of the box the width of the filter and slid it up against the first filter then the second one slid in smooth. Then remove the card
Thanks for the great instructions. This is going to be my next project......
THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR 1M VIEWS!
Where I live rodents love to nest in those as well. Thank you, great video
This is a good primer on this procedure. I left the nut in by the console just loosened it some. The nuts are a pain to get started when re-tightening I eyeballed it and it helped…My filters were black as sin, blows better now for sure. Easy 5 minute deal and $18 on Amazon for filters!
Thanks! I just figured my truck didn't have a cabin air filter. . . ! But, since I've got have the dash removed right now anyway, this will be a great time to check this out.
Gotta love the metric/sae mix of bolts
most likely the 7/32 is actually a 5.5mm socket
Never would have known about these......... Cabin filters who'da thunk? Thanks for the heads-up.
Thank you for this post. I thought my 2001 Yukon did not have a cabin filter until I saw your video. My filters were there for 16 years, quite dirty. Thanks again, your video was Very nicely done.
Glad I could help!
EXCELLENT LANDSCAPE VIDEO and NO stupid annoying background music.
Great information helped alot thank you for your time. A+++++
I'm impressed...one handed.
Hahaha, unfortunately that’s how a lot of my videos are made.
I also want to thank you for the 'here it is' and how to replace it' help you've given this old lady. Again. thanks.
No problem at all, here to help!
Thanks for the how to video, didn’t know my truck had them until one of my friends was talking about changing his in his truck. Started searching UTube and your video popped right up. Plan on changing them this weekend, it ought to be good, brought the truck new in 1999, and they have never been changed.
Jim Newt so did you changed them?
I changed them about a week along with having my AC serviced, can’t tell you how much I enjoy my old truck not that i have plenty of cold clean air blowing out my cab vents again, thanks again for your video.
I can’t wait to change these out now! My passenger side does not blow at all on my 02 I thought my vents were clogged up.Thanks for this great video👍🏻
Humberto cantu did it help?
Jacob Nichols Yes sir it made a HUGE difference l
Wow! Big thanks on this one! I'm sure mine has racoons and squirrels in it by now ! Lol
Thanks again,
>>>~￦~~>
Maybe 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀 too
Feel like a idiot. Didn’t realize I had these. That’s my next project.
I’d recommend leaving the screw to the far drivers side in but just loosen it. It’s a huge pain to get back in and just loosening it will allow you to work around the cover.
Tony The Truck Guy Ok. Thanks. I will do that.
MrHuckabst Same
Thank you for the tip! I will do that for sure.
Short and to the point thanks👍👍👍
Very helpful video, I’ll definitely be doing this on my 2002 Silverado tomorrow when the auto parts store opens up
I never had a clue about these and I am having the same problem! Thank you!!
Just for clarification, I did slightly misspeak on the years in the video. 2003-2013 trucks don't have them, so you'll only have them from 99-02.
Clean that grill with a toothbrush. It will reach those difficult spots.
That’s an evaporator. Not a grill.
Found a BUNCH of bird seeds and corn in mine.... along with a few other random pieces of trash and lint. Not sure how it got clogged up so much but it blows 10x harder and I haven’t put the new filters in. Thanks!
Haha yeah, you'll find some mysterious things in there sometimes. Glad to help!
You made a nice video! Good explanation, good presentation. I did mine, I installed a K & N, it actually slows the air flow a bit more than the cheaper ones so something to keep in mind. Put a towel down to catch the garbage and shake it out in the trash can later. Spray lysol and make sure debris is removed. Again, good video!
Good ideas! Thank you!
I replaced my and I removed only the first two bolts, with the third one in place, still allowed me to lower the kick plate and replaced the two filters. Thanks for the video!!
Yeah that 3rd one is a bear haha. Glad to help!
May the General Motors engineers spend eternity in purgatory having to change these filters a millions times. Then they may come up with an easier design next time.
THAT MY BROTHER WOULD BE 2 EASY.
Keith Cronk v
Yes they came up with no way to change it anymore a sealed box in the 2004-2005
Just cut it open and add the cover from the 2003 & earlier trucks.
yep 4 screws every 4 years. what where they thinking
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much for making this video I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD my mechanic was trying to tell me there was no cabin filter another mechanic was saying maybe the reason why my air conditioner doesn't work consistently is because the filters are dirty but anyway thank you thank you
Wow I never even knew there was in cab filters until seeing your video, you sir have taught a old dog a new trick .
This does not apply to the 2003 models. Apparently the cabin air filter was omitted from the 2003-2013 models.
My 2003 has one. Odd. I'm the original owner too.
My 2007 sierra 1500 does not have a filter
@@darylltxvideoIt's behind the glove box.
Cabin air filters were not used in gm trucks until after 2013
@@thegreatoutdoors9769 Then how did I just replace the cabin filter in my 1999 3 door?
turning the blower on doesnt get all the crap out. I did that before i removed the blower motor. but when i took the blower motor/fan out, I had all kinds of leaves and debris stuck inside fan basket, as well as, the fan blades themselves were caked with gunk and dirt. I'm sure all this reduced airflow as well. Just a good idea to remove blower motor and clean the fins at the same time you replace the filters.
Thanks Tony, who knew my truck had a cabin filter?!?!?!?!?!?! You da man....
Thanks, did not know that there are 2 filters up in there. Replaced both after watching video with no issues. Thanks!
Glad to help!
way better than 1 Aautos vid
Haha I actually came across theirs after making this. I'm glad it helped!
thank you sir
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the video.
This video is reminding me how much I hate my truck and the reason why I prefer my Toyota!
This generation GM truck was actually pretty good though compared to all these overpriced new ones that are always broken haha
Thanks for the very well done video, please make more about 2002 diesel silverados!!
I found a rat in mine, dead, it was hard as wood...
2003 silverados or sierra don't have cabin filters every other year does
Yeah I changed the video title, someone informed me the other day that the 03-07 doesn't have them.
Thanks for coming in and informing us the info. It saved me a trip and the thing of removing and finding out I didn't need it. lol Thanks again. lol
Yep. 03 to 07 bean counters got rid of them. Not sure about 08 and up.
Very good to see how it comes apart👀
Thank you for this video. This also works the same for my 2002 Chevy avalanche.
I just changed mine yesterday it was filthy!!!!! Holy fuck there had to have been 2 pounds of debree inside it.
Hahaha! Yeah they get ignored.
Media Guy 5
5 .mm
This fixed my 02. Thanks much for your video.
Thanks for the video. I couldn't do it without this video
62 years old and worked on trucks for years and I didn't know they had filters , I thought mine was a fresh air gate not working
You learn something new every day!
Good video, but that cover isn't necessary. I took mine off and kept it off cause its a pain in the ass
😂 yeah just for looks. I found out AFTER doing the job that it’s way easier to leave the far drivers side screw loose, rather than removing it.
you're not kidding! I changed my cabin filters and found that out. When I was trying to diagnose my lack of heat, I took the cover off again. It was such a paint to get the holes to line up (at least on mine it was LOL)
I never knew mine was missing until I was replacing some parts. Guy before me must've taken it off. Glad he did, it saved me some time.
I just did mine and had a hell of time getting the middle screws to line up. Got frustrated and just left those out. I just used the to end screws and it holds it up no problem and no rattling noise.@@georgew84
Excellent video. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Thank you so much. I have a used, 2001 Sierra 2500, 140,000 miles. I'm sure it was never changed. It has been now.
Glad to help!
I had dust, dirt, leaves, seed pods, an illegal alien, and three small squirrels come out of mine.
🤣
No wonder when I turn on my AC in my truck air blows slow 😃
That wasnt the AC evap like he said, that is the heater core. The evaporator is up front under the grill
No, the thing up by the grille is the condenser. The evaporator is by the heater core.
Thank you Tony very informative, you are appreciated. Again thank you for the knowledge.
No problem! Glad to help.
03-07 gmc sierra does not have this
You are correct, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't sure on this one so I just kind of figured they did since they're the same body style. Very strange GM went away with them in '03.
I know, I replaced my blower motor resistor a while back and it gave me a small view of the evaporator coil. I got some no rinse coil cleaner and sprayed it good, let it sit and then ran the air. Bubbles blew out of my supply vents into the cab for a while but it works much better ever since.
suf79 hyhh
suf79 my 04 Silverado doesn't either but after seeing this it will have wonder where she keeps her Dremel tool
Man thank you! Saved me $$$ New subscriber
Short and to the point thanks 👍👍👍
Cool! Something else to fix. I had no idea these had this. I is have a 2001 Tahoe. I see I have the same deal. Thanks man. 😂
Thank you for posting!!!
Excellent instructions. Took me 20 minutes. Thanks 4 the info
Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad to help.
Thanks Tony nice video and great illustration how to the filters.
Nice work if it’s your vehicle and you don’t mind the work. This filter is so inaccessible it would seem like they were never meant for service. That standard socket would have been my giveaway. Good vid
I am very glad that you made this video. I was getting very little airflow out of my Yukon XL. I didn't even know that I had cabin filters. My filters looked worse than your filters.
Game changer!
@@TonyTheTruckGuy absolutely.
