cabin filters

[seanhawk]

where exactly are they located? i have a 02 silverado..

[Drisco Z71]

I don't exactly remember but somewhere under the passenger side dash.

[Mr.C]

I've also wondered about the location !

[TINY'S97]

passenger side of the dash closer to the trans hump. also make sure you get both of the old ones out. if you have the full center console it can sometimes be hard to see the second filter.

yeah, you have to remove a black plastic cover first. atleast thats how it is on my 2000 sierra.

[Mr.C]

Is the door held closed by a single screw? What do the filters look like?

[Mr.C]

Well, anyone know?

[TINY'S97]

best i can remember when we changed my dad's, yes there is just one screw. the filter are about 6"x8"x1", and kind of resemble the nbs air filters, except they don't have the rubber gasket around the edge. hope this helps.

This was found in another thread on the same topic:

I just changed both filters. Took 10 mins total.

FYI, Napa and Checker's had filters ranging from $26.99 (FRAM) to $33.99 (WIX).

Went down the street to Carquest. They sold me TWO filters with a charcoal filter for $13.99 each.

Just got two filters for $18 at Advance Auto. First time I've ever changed them and were they ever cruddy. 01 Silverado with 101,000 I could never find them before. I had to take off four screws on the kick plate 7mm and one on the bottom of the filter door I think it was 1/4 SAE. Go figure. Job took an hour and that includes a trip to the parts store. Put the two end screws in first, that pretty much lines it up for the other two. Used a 7mm 1/4" deep socket. The two on the right are easy, the two on the left are a little tight to get to. Air is blowing much better. Thanks to all for the imput.

i know this is kind of an old threat but any tricks or advice on how to get the screw out thats located above the tranny hump? its in a hard to get to location and its the last screw i have to remove

[redline05]

I can't understand why you guys would have any trouble getting to the screw for the filter(s). On my 2002, its a single screw that holds on a plastic bracket/piece/thing. This is located on the passenger side, under my dash. The single screw is has plenty of distance from my center console (or anything else for that matter) to allow to plenty of access to it. For the most part, it's in the middle of the passenger underdash.

..and yes, my '02 has two filters side-by-side as well.

[jpacha84]

nevermind man i got it. there were 4 screws holding the plastic cover in place before i could even get to the part that the filters were in( the single screw you were referring to) . took a deep well socket to get to it. i just didnt put it back in so next time i wont have to mess with it

[GMAN12]

I just replaced mine today but I only found one, now I didn't see another one, wheres it at?

[Aaron Z71]

It's directly behind it. they are in there edge to edge

[GMAN12]

I went back and looked today, and sure enough, found the other one. Thanks
