Okay so The Chevy dealership told me that my truck doesn't have a pollen filter and instead it has a metal screen. How do I go about cleaning that. Where is it? I know my store sells a cleaner that is supposed to clean the mildew off of the screen but I'm not sure how to get to it. Let me know guys cause this thing is really starting to wreak![:'(]

 

Are you talking about the cabin filter....if so its on the passenger side below the glove box inside. There should be some screws on the bottow of heater box and they should fall down.

 

I don't have a cabin/pollen filter. They changed them in 03. So what do I need to do to get to whatever it is I need to clean?

 

NOTTA..


your 03 MAY have an afterblow option you can turn on with a scanner...when you kill the truck,it'll wait a couple minutes,then turn the blower on high to dry the core and keep mold down.

 

I purchasedtruck new inApril 2000obs chevy 2500 series, about 2 months after purchaseit started stinking like a sick dogs butt. Wife would not ride in truck.

Long story shortened: Gm installed a odor kit in the truck, not many trucks have them, but one that stinks gets one.

System turns fan on high for about 10 secs every hour, 24/7. This blows air across the condensor in heater/AC unit and drys the coils.

Its a pain in the winter as it can run battery down if you do not drive the truck on a regular schedule. Now that I am retired that is a problem.

But it works, truck no long smells, it has been operational for almost 8 years. I got a copy of the Odor Kit technical bulletin and keep it in truck in case it evercomes on and will not go off. So mechanic can determine which wires to cut.

Good luck with you stinkproblem,

Thats funny he said good luck with your stankin problem!!!LOL

 

Argon(Steve), what am I supposed to do then? I'm not trying to keep mold down, it's there already and if I turn the a/c on at all my whole truck stinks. Surely there has to be something I can do besides dry the core. This is a real problem that's gonna require maintenance.

 

you can spray lysol down the air grille outside....or try the stuff you have at o-really's...but you can not access that core for maintenance..

do you drive this truck short trips only?..if the core stays wett all the time,then yes,it will begin to smell like a pissy diaper.

 

All man that stinks.

 

Mostly short trips but I also drive it out of town about once a week or so which is about 25 miles one way. Where is the air grille your talking about?
