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!

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!

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

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.
