★ Top Answer
The 2005 Chevy Silverado has a cabin air filter situated on the passenger side in the truck behind the glove box. To reach the filter, you must remove the entire glove compartment. It's advisable to inspect the filter every six months to ensure it's not clogged with debris or mold. The cabin air filter works to prevent dust and allergens from entering the truck's cabin and may require replacement if it becomes worn out. While the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) filter is paper-based, you can opt for enhanced charcoal or carbon filters available in the market for improved air quality.

I saw on a different forum from back in 2005 that some vehicles had the option, while others did not. To access it, you may need to remove the lower plastic panel below the glove box. If your vehicle has this panel, you can unscrew one bolt to release the cover, and then it should swing down. You can check out YouTube for a video demonstration.
