In the 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, you can find the cabin air filter located behind the glove box and under the passenger side dash. To get to the CAF housing, you'll have to remove the glove box by unbolting it. Many people view a cabin air filter as essential for maintaining a healthy environment inside the truck, as it helps keep dust, dirt, and pollen that can trigger allergies at bay. Besides this, the filter also collaborates with the vehicle's HVAC system to prevent clogging or damage to the fan and ducts. It's important to remember that the cabin air filter needs to be replaced regularly as part of standard maintenance. The specific interval for changing it can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, but Chevy suggests replacing it every year or every 10,000 miles for the Silverado.
To access the cabin air filter in all Silverado trucks, you'll first need to use a screwdriver to take off the outer housing of the glove box. The filter's location is behind this housing.
