Tahoe Cabin Filter?

[NJgunner]

Does the 2010 LTZ have a cabin filter? If so how often should it be changed. thanks

No, they don't.

Tahoe (likely all the cousins too) have never had them. Not sure if they were fitted before '07 though.

Best thing to do is turn the AC off before reaching your destination and letting the blower dry out the condenser a bit.

The a/c heater duct assembly under the dash has not changed in many years. The c/k platform had air cabin filters in the previous model, but in the 2007+ models, the cutout for the filters was molded shut. With a small saw, you can cut it out, and add the filters and then use a thin piece of wood to hold it all in (like a large paint stick).

Take of the lower dash molding under the passenger side of the dash, and you will quickly see where the filters used to go. I've done this, and it works well.

Trailblazers have the same heater assembly, and they have been doing this upgrade for a long time-

Shame on GM for cheaping out on the removal of dust filters. That crap floats all over the inside of Tahoes. Here's one of the reasons dust filters should be installed by GM, rather than the customer, from Lubbock, TX a few days ago:

How about that FedEx jet?

I haven't added the cabin filter but I did bookmark the instructions when I saw them sometime ago if anyone is interested in doing it. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=24414

Dam and I though I had been through a bad one.

I see exactly where the cut needs to be made. The goofs at GM could have just left the slot unblocked and could have told the customer if they want to put two filters in the slot, they could do so on their own dime. How so many stupid people get into management is beyond me.

Two questions, since I'm quite perturbed -- AGAIN -- at GM for being so cheap as to allow dirt to float all over the interior of the Tahoe! One, what year Tahoe or whatever did you do the modification on? And two, exactly which filters did you use?

I just clicked on that link and it worked fine for me.

Maybe you can try going here and click on the link in post #6. Someone lists the filter number you need in this thread too. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=132842

That link worked. Thanks, HOE-N-IT!
