Interior (In-Cab) Air Filter

[PNWYukon]

In case anyone else was thinking this, I went ahead and checked our 2005 Tahoe LS for an in-cab air filter under the passenger side dash/glovebox area. Once you remove the shroud you can see the area where the filters should be, but now instead of a removable panel it is solid cast with the rest of the assembly.

Some people were not sure if it mattered what model (LS) or where it was assembled (Wisconsin) made any difference because some parts stores will sell you filters.

yup... I wasn't aware and an auto parts store sold me a cabin filter.. I found out after I got home and did some research... I don't have one that can be replaced.

take care all

Yes, pretty stupid to remove the in cabin filter. When something stinks outside and we switch to air to interior circulation and it barely makes a difference. The wife shuts it down most of the time. Thanks Chevrolet!

I was wondering about that. I have an OBS so I must not have one either unless they actually went backwards in their brilliance.

True. There isn't one!!! I have a 2005 XL...LOVE it. I like the shape/style and the steel bumpers vs all these newer plastic cars. (I can say that as THIS IS the 2000-2006 thread) LOL Just an aside...but to me...the brand new ones (especially in black) look like hearses. At least, a black 2005 just looks like a Secret Service car! LOL LOL But I digress....no cabin filter.

Not after 2003 due to a redesigned HVAC case. At least, that's what I read everywhere.

My 2002 Suburban has one. Actually there are two filters that fit into the ac box. I guess some of the later ones don't have this.

From all that I read... up to 2004 has them... and 05 and newer don't.
