You sure you have one? AFAIK, they discontinued them for the GMT900. There are retrofit kits for you to easily install one, though.
No i'm not sure and there is nothing about it in the owners manual. The guy where I get my oil changed told me I need to change it and said he had the part, but I usually don't buy their marked up filters. I also called my local GMC dealer and the service guy said he thinks it does. Thanks for your reply.

Away!
If you have it, it's under the glove box. Rectangular door with one screw at the end towards the seat. If you don't, you'll see the "cutout" where the door would be and the post/hole for the screw. Dorman has a kit with the filter, door, and screw. You can cut it open to put one in.

It could've been added by a previous owner if you didn't buy your Yukon new. Does your A/C have an odor when it's on? If neither of those is true, then I'd question the honesty of the guy at the oil change place.
If you have an odor and no cabin filter, then you might have a plugged evaporator drain causing water to sit in the box and grow mildew. There are plenty of simple fixes for this- just Google around. If you need or want to add a cabin air filter, you can buy the parts (kit) off Amazon. There's at least one how-to thread on installing this kit on this forum. I recommend getting the activated charcoal filter if any.

Multiple threads on the subject..as stated.... extremely easy to do if not done already.... few screws and a sheet rock knife....

My 2013 GMC Yukon Denali does not have a cabin filter
OK, that's what I need to know. Even the local GNC dealer wasn't sure when I called them. Thanks
Again, alot of misinformation on this. It may in fact have one if a previous owner cut one in. Easy to check under the dash. Yes, from the factory certain models didn't come with it.

No the quick change guy was just gonna fatten his wallet on your behalf. I wonder how many times he gets away with that trick ?

no they just have a dirty one under their workbench, why even check the one in your car, that's too much like work .
No, i looks like the cheap jerks at GMC decided just to mould the cavity in, so you have to buy a conversion kit. Too bad since the GMC AC isn't that strong to begin with and when the coils get dirty, it gets worse.

I added the kit in our 08 YXL Denali. It’s a PITA to cut the recessed area with a razor knife and / or hack saw. I have yet to add it to our 09 Esky.
It is worth the trouble to add it. Purchase a $9.99 hot knife from Amazon and turn the 60-90 min job into a 10 min job. It’ll also turn out better. After the job was done and the hvac louvers were wiped, the dusty residue never returned.

The second time I did the addition, I used a mini torch to heat a hardback razor blade. The score line cut like butter.

Why didn’t I think of that. Very MacGyver
