Excellent video! Having had my 2003 F150 XL since it was new, I never thought a cabin air filter could be installed. So after 260K miles, it now has one. Just as the video shows, there is a plastic insert that can be cut out with a razor knife to give you full access to the ductwork AHEAD of the heater core in order to install the filter. A word of caution - be careful using the razor knife as the heater core sits immediately past the opening being cut out. The core could easily get stabbed with the knife if you're not careful. All in all, a good project to give you filtered outside (or recirculated) air! Thanks again for the video!

About to do this to my 2001 Lariat. Very helpful video. Thank you kindly sir.

Thank you! Very clear, smart and helpful.

I tried this on my bicycle. I must of did something wrong because it doesn't have a dashboard. It bursted into flames and burnt half of the trailerpark down. Now my parole officer is looking for me as well as the fire chief. Thanks man!

Awesome video! I had bought a filter for my 99 f150 lariat and it did not have one from factory. Going to do this mod this weekend. I got a ATP brand FA-10 Premium filter made from coconut shell based activated carbon (helps eliminate odors).

I didn’t even know some vehicles didn’t have cabin air filters. I just ordered one not knowing I would have to modify. That’s so dumb!

thank you, it worked perfectly and now i’m gonna get an air filter 👍

Thanks for the video even though it's over a year old. I like your humor as well. Super awesome video thank you again. 1999 f150 base model 5.4 long bed I have w/ 249k miles 2nd owner but been in family since it drove off the show room floor. Grandpa & grandma owned it first. May they rest in peace. Thank you again.

Great Video...Just what I needed.... Thank You!

Worked great Sir.I used a dryer lent cleaner(brush)to clean inside where the coils are.

Sweet I just did it to my 99 f150.. thanks for the help

Thank you so much for that tutorial. I had no idea there were such a thing as a cabin filter. What's next, blinker fluid!!

Thanks so much! This video helped me do the same modification on my 2000 Expedition.

Ford actually has a kit (Part# F65Z-18D477AA) intended to allow for the installation of a cabin air filter. Not sure how easy it is to find, but it exists. It includes a template to know exactly where to cut, and a bracket with corresponding screws that can be installed to hold the filter into place. The kit isn't a necessity since, as this video shows, if one knows where to cut, the filter will pretty much hold in place. But an official installation kit does exist. It'll fit first-generation Expeditions (97-02) as well as some F-150s (not sure of the model year range).

Great video - I’m doing this on my “Margaret”. 2003 XL F150

Great video! Thank you! 👍😊

Awesome Video!

Thank you sir going to see if mine has that option 😎

Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great job my friend!

Great video bro keep dat Ford on da road💯

So glad I found this video. Gonna be driving on dirt roads every day soon.

Thank you so much 🤝

Wow this helps bro

We get it, you got a good credit score

Thanks for that I am just wondering, what is wrong with my truck I don't see the place where the filter goes

Update on my install - I have taken my box knife - new blade -cut -cut - cut - no go saw zall. No no no - grinder wheel , NO DONT USE - ha ha. Plastic welder just made holes BUT. I HAVENT GAVE UP

Did this and a good amount of air was blowing past. Have to forcibly press the filter up to get it to not blow past... May have to bend a little bit of steel and make a bracket with the screw holes nearby

Good video

thank you

Dudes goofy as shit lmao love the vid man

Thaks bro

I wonder if this will work on the f 250...

Weird but we never know thanks alot

I know this video is about 2 years old and most replies 1 yr old. My 1997 5.4L XLT just flipped 420,000 miles. I bought used in 1998 with 90,000 miles on it. My truck air seems fine, no smell. I have a urge to change the filter and now learn it may not have one?! Thanks for the video.

Mine is 23 years old. Hoping it has a crusty old filter in there, but this will work.

Used this video and worked great. Cut out the insert with a power cutting tool. Note: Lots of trash was in the plenum. I used a small brush to scrub inside and leaves and dead bugs fell out.

So it doesn’t come with an air filter but you can install one if you one ? Since you have to cut and do all that I assume that didn’t come with factory air filter???

Just did mine on my 97 F150. Had to clean the coils before putting the filter. I used a hose and pressured wash the coils that are inside where the filter goes, facing the cabin. Now it blows more air.

Good video but if you never had a filter the evaporator core probably needs to be cleaned after sucking in 18 years worth of dirt!

How big is the air filter?

Thanks for doing this video! Quick question: doesn't this cause the water from the AC evaporator to leak all over the floor? If not, where does the water go?

Can you post a link to the air filter?

I did the same to my 02 f250, not for an air filter but a place to hide my drugs.

😂😂😂 Changing my wife cabin air filter also. 1999 😂👍 in 2020. Not sure of mileage speedometer broke at 400,000 miles. 2nd engine and trans

Just saw your video and it explained alot when I went to the cabin filter and there was no spot. Lol. I have that smell that begs to have one installed. What was Ford thinking not installing the hole? 😅

Why did my mouth actually start to water when seeing it😂

I have a 2000 Ford F-150 XLT Extended cab with 123K miles. No rust, best Ford motor, 4.6L , 2 valve. Since you have over 285K, have you ever replaced your fuel pump? I like the idea of a cabin air filter, but to me if it was an option by Ford, you shouldn't have to go thru all you did to modify it. I question whether it was an option by Ford. Remember early cabin filters started by being placed below the cowling (the plastic vent between your hood and windshield. If it was an option, I would think that would be the location. My truck has a musky smell when A/C is first turned. I'm looking at KZfaq videos for solutions. Thank You

Do you hear it blowing by the filter housing?

Interesting I’m gonna look I’ve had my 2003 for 5 years now , never new there was a filter.

What size filter? Link is broken.

His wrench looked a lot like a pair of chan locks ..😮...

Does this work on a 2009 Ford Ranger?

Did you notice a reduction in your air flow after installing the filter?

What filter did you use ?

4 hours later. 🤪

Here in 2024...was it worth it? Does it comtinue to smell good?

Thank you now it's time for you to fix those crusty leather seats keep the wife happy

Man I need some pointers. I can’t get the damn filter to slide in there. It’s getting hung up somewhere. So frustrating.

Part #?

Ponelo en epañol

sorry to break it to you but thats NOT what it looks like with trucks without the option, you had the option, it just wasnt already in there, you couldve used an actual filter, which i bough but figured out i couldnt use lol i do not have anything that looks like that, just some crappy insulation essentially or cheap cotton filter stuffed in an open space

Jesus H Christ, the first two videos I watch on this the camera is pointed nowhere near where he’s cutting.

Idk if it was worth all that damage just to replace an air filter for your lady. Not that anyone's gonna notice the difference down there by the passenger side. Hopefully shes a keeper bro kudos to you though. Happy wife happy life lol

But who the fk design this not to put in a cabin air filter 😒

Lol.... why bother. Some guys here seem terified of their wives.

Talking way too much... Just shut up and get to the point.
