07-14 No Cabin Air Filter - is this correct?

[kbuskill]

I wonder if anyone has tried a linoleum cutter.

Dunno... power tool seems quicker.

I wonder if anyone has tried a linoleum cutter.

The plastic is somewhat thick, as one would expect, so power tools will definitely work better.

The other issues with knives, is that if you slip up, while putting lots of pressure on the blade, you may end up cutting yourself badly. When I used the utility knife with new blades to cut the two short sides of the triangle, the blade slipped out of the groove and nicked my thumb on my other hand, which I was using close by for leverage. Fortunately, it was a nick, but another fraction of an inch in the blade's trajectory, would have sent me to the doctor for stitches.

Again, an easy job with the right tools and some caution.

A hot knife works wonders...

Think I used a carpet knife.

Hardest part was unscrewing the fastener under the middle of the dash. I didn't put it back so I wouldn't have to deal with it when changing filters out. No issues with that. I'm on my second set of filters now. Works great.

Btw it did eventually get a little musty which is why I changed em out after about a year.

After you guys added the filter, did you notice a decrease of airflow coming out of the vents at all? I'm considering adding one to my Tahoe and also the SD.
Does the rear A/C unit have any sort of filter?

Yes, very slight decrease but noticeable. Not a big deal for me since it's on Auto all the time anyway, set at 66 or 68 all year round. No filter that I'm aware of out back, never noticed one in the diagrams. I reckon the design itself serves as the filter.

Close on the house yet?

I believe the rear intakes air from inside already

Not yet unfortunately. With the virus sneaking around, my hours have been taking a beating at work. I make decent money, but with reduced income and paying such high rent.. saving is a little more difficult. I am being overly cautious with finances and making sure I retain my job before closing on a house. I feel like I'm in a lose/lose situation. I'm losing my ass paying almost $1800 for 900 sq/ft, but if I spend every last penny now on a down payment for a house...that could also be disastrous.

I just want life to go back to normal so I can have a house, AND finally make my hoe faster!!!!


I forgot to mention, I live near Boulder CO so houses are ******* ridiculous expensive!

Well, maybe you'll be able to negotiate for a reduced rent and if this drags out, home prices will sag putting you in a good position eventually. Funny thing, I've always maintained high stocks of food and supplies for the house but in the last few months have been drawing our stock down. Go figure. Now we'll go back to the way we used to do things; have to get a new freezer for the garage too.

Northern, VA isn’t any cheaper. Just sold my 2700 sq ft house in Loudoun County for $627K in 3 days. I’m taking the profit down to VA Beach where I can pay cash for a house.

At higher fan speeds the cavitation gets knocked down by the filter. It does sound like less, but it’s mostly the sound getting isolated. Only a digi air flow meter would reveal any difference.

Better Late Than Never! The Yukon is 13 yrs young and is just now getting this mod.

Installed a Dorman cabin air filter kit today, # 259-200, in about an hr. Like someone else mentioned, the hardest part is removing the inner most cover screw. I cut between the two ridges. Takes 3or4 passes. When going back together I used that inner most screw to hold the new door closed.
Replacement filters are: Dorman# 259-001 or ACDelco CF193C or GM 23101674 or Premium Guard PC9957

Adding the cabin air filter is a smart move. My 2002 has it, but 2006 Chrysler 300C, not! My husband added it using parts we picked up on eBay. We had a big improvement in air quality and sig less dirt accumulation on the dash. Win!

 

[the blur]

GM had a service bulletin on this mod. But my dealer refused to do it under warranty. Then I forgot about it.

 

[the blur]

I just did the mod. There were pine needles in the A/C evaporator, I pulled out most of them. Thinking about it.. it's too little too late. The heater core, and A/C evaporator are already loaded up with gunk. Filtering it 100,000 miles later... does a little air quality help, as there is no way to wash the core, & evaporator.

 

[Warriorpluto]

Does it slow down air flow to the vents?
Edit. Nevermind. I see its not noticeable

So here's a question...are you guys doing the regular filter or spending the extra 10 bucks for the carbon filter? think im gonna do this before my road trip

do carbon....

 

[Geoffsfas10]

do carbon....

That was kinda of my thinking. If im going through the effort, might as well do the nicer version
