The 2006 Chevy Silverado comes equipped with a cabin air filter located behind the glove compartment inside the truck. You'll have to take out the glove box entirely to reach the filter. The original filter provided is constructed from folded paper, effective at keeping dust and allergens out of your cabin. For more advanced filtration, you can upgrade to carbon filters or ones with baking soda to maintain a fresh-smelling vehicle over time.

Yes, the 2006 models 1500 and 2500 come equipped with cabin air filters. The air filter is located behind the glove box. To access it, open the glove box and press the tabs on the left and right sides until it drops open. Undo the 5/16 screw on the right side to open the box further. Inside, you will see three tabs – unsnap them to drop the door down and reveal the filter. Reassemble the glove box by reversing these steps. Unlike previous models with two filters sliding upward from underneath, this is a single filter.

Between 2003 and 2010, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles were not equipped with cabin filters. However, there is a provision underneath the dashboard where you can remove some plastic to access the necessary door from AC Delco. This will allow you to modify and install a cabin filter retroactively.

Incorrect. The 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is equipped with a cabin air filter, but it requires removing the entire accumulator box to replace it, and it's not a standard paper filter but a foam one. The cost of changing it may exceed its value. An alternative method is to remove the fan, blow it with an air blower, and use odor neutralizer, which is more cost-effective and faster.

Indeed, the 2006 Chevy Silverado does come equipped with a cabin air filter, which can be found situated towards the back of the glove compartment.
