 This has been covered before,but I don`t remember the details.
I have a '04 GMC 2500 HD 6.0
Do I have a cabin filter? If so,where is it located,and how many
miles,or time before it should be replaced?
I checked the owners manual,and it said nothing about it.

Thanks
Bill

Good question.  I was told I had on in my '05 Tahoe but cannot find it.

No cabin air filters on 04 pickups. Something about it not working with the
dual zone heating system.

Well, you might as well tell us where it is. Wasn't that the original
question?

Don't bother, the instructions do not apply to '04 models.  If you remove
your kickplate you will not find a cover or the filters.  On my '04 you can
look at the plastic and see where the filter access cover should be
(including a slot for one end and a hole where the cover screw should go)
but the access opening is molded solid.  The kickplate is no joy to remove
either as there are 4 screws, one of which is located in a hole with very
limited access because the hump in the floor doesn't give you much room for
a tool to get in.  I guess after the '02 model year GM decided that it
wasn't worth it to have a cabin air filter, or maybe they caused too many
problems.

What does a set of filters cost?
TIA,

   $20 for the 'After Market'  WIX or FRAM  Filter Pair,   (ID  CF-104
equivalent).

   About $40 if you buy GM  AC Delco  CF-104 boxed pair..

   Installation can run about $30.......   It is not real fun to
replace.

  IF the filter pair does not get changed:

     1) Fan air flow gets blocked for defrosting.....

     2) The filter is Packed full of dead bugs / etc....

     3) Fresh air in the Cab becomes unfresh air....

Thanks a bunch.  Just finished changing the filters and I found that
prices were varied just as you mentioned.  I had forgotten to change
the filters until the post here.  You are right on all 3 items and it
was a bitch to get that last screw back in over the center hump.
Thanks again.

MR,  When I changed mine, I did not totally remove the screw by the
center hump.  I just made is loose enough so I could swing the cover
out of the way to get at the filter housing.  Made the job much
easier.

I have an 04, that is where I get my info. No cabin air filter. In fact I
think 03s don't have one either.
I notice the link David sent is for up to 02.
I don't know what 2 screws you removed but just to get the housing off there
are 3, than another1 to access the 2 filters. There are some foam pieces in
there for sound control, around the fan motor but I have no place for any
filters. Call the parts department and ask for cabin filters for your 04 see
if any are listed.
