Cabin Air Filter? Do F-Bodies have a Cabin Air Filter? I live in El Paso and the dust storms get crazy this time of the year. Everytime I start the A/C, it blows crap loads of dirt and sand. If there is one, where is it so I can replace it?

I work at CSK Auto and looked it up. It even gave me a Fram part #. It's a special order but don't want to order it if it ain't going to fit. Anyone else know for sure.

I'm pretty sure we don't, I should stop being lazy and read my manual. I have it on pdf file on my laptop. Which is in the same place as my real manual, in the car.

Most GM vehicles have them. I'm pretty sure F-Bodies should have one as well. I'll look into it and keep you posted. I already ordered the fram(CF8804) filter for my car. I'll see if there is a place to put it though.

The instructions on where it is are on the fram website when you look up the part number. According to that we have one under the cowl in the engine compartment on the passanger side. I'm going to go look right now.

I had never even heard of a cabin air filter until my Aunt had hers replaced in the Buick a few weeks ago. I was wondering if we had them. If we do, I'm definately getting one. I'm sure it needs to be replaced after 7 years anyways. My allergies go nuts this time a year and any little bit wiil help.
BTW, nice post and a very good question. Please someone keep us informed.

I'll get my filter tomorrow but I have no idea where it goes yet. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Hopefully. I'll keep you posted.

I have my filter already but I have no idea where it goes. I called a couple of GM service people to see if they could tell me anything about where it goes. But nobody knew what I was talking about. I'll keep looking and let you know when and if I find out where it goes.

The only filter in the whole ac system is right behind the evaporator core. Its there to make sure nothing huge gets stuck in the evaporator core. It should really be fun to get to.
