To replace the cabin air filter in a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500, you'll find it behind the glove box. Use a phillips head screwdriver to open the glove box, then remove the screws on both sides to pop out the outer section. Inside, you'll see a black box containing the cabin filter. It should be replaced every 30,000 miles, with a new one costing between $10 and $30.

You're both correct and mistaken. From 2007 to 2013, Silverados are equipped with cabin filters, but this varies depending on the model trim such as LS, LT, LTZ, and work truck. Specifically, LS and work truck models do not come with cabin air filters, whereas LT and LTZ models might have one if they were equipped with an upgraded climate control system. The reason filters are sold for Silverados is because certain trims are designed to have them.

Trust the engineers to mess things up by removing the filter that should have been there... now there's no filter. I thought I had a good understanding of what to do after watching several videos, but it turned out to be a total waste of time. All I got from this is a cabin filter with an aftermarket holder. I wouldn't have bothered if I had known this would happen.
