Today I'm going to show you the easiest way to replace a cabin air filter in an F150. This video will cover most late model F150s. The process is simple and only requires minimal tools. A 7mm socket, a trim removal tool, and a new cabin air filter. In this video we will go step by step through the replacement of the cabin air filter.

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill Ford did a great job in designing this job to replace it.

Built Ford DUHf. 2 minute job turned into a headache. Thanks for helping me not break any clips on my dad's truck. You got a thumbs up from me.👍

That’s the worst feeling when you break a clip. Glad I could help!

If this is tough then you need to stop trying to work on your stuff immediately. Lol it’s like 2 screws and a few tabs. 😂

You have to be kidding. It was easy to replace the cabin filter on my old Silverado. Not so easy on my F-150. It's a poor design to involve all these steps. This is not the only stupid design flaw that I have found on my F-150.

@SmackeysGarage Ай бұрын

@kevinpearson9993 if the filter is completely clogged it could definitely cause a low airflow situation.

Good video. Straight forward and to the point. I like it. Made the job super easy for me. My airflow was poor and it increased greatly after replacing the cabin air filter. Great success! Thank you.

You might be able to look the clips up on Tasca or get the part numbers and search for them. They definitely do feel like they are going to break sometimes when you are really pulling on them.

Now I'm curious if mine was ever changed, I had the full maintenance package from Ford and brought it in for all the regular services, but I don't recall if they ever had that listed as changed or not so now I have to go see, I bought the truck December 2020, it's a 2019, and my ac flat out stopped working, so I'm gonna get a recharge kit but should check this too

@SmackeysGarage Жыл бұрын

Definitely check it out. It’s pretty obvious if it has ever been changed. They do collect a lot of foreign materials.

@erictepen6033 Жыл бұрын

Excellent video, however, trying to remove the plastic that was screwed in, seems impossible. I pulled fairly hard, but I'm afraid of breaking it. What kind of tool was that you used?

@SmackeysGarage Жыл бұрын

That blue tools are linked in the description as a trim removal tool. I use them on lots of body pins on the truck. That panel definitely is clipped in really tight.

@easycomeeasygo8901 Ай бұрын

Thank you for the video 👍. I dont know how the other brands do it, but Dam Ford, was there no way to make this faster/easier/less clips that will break? These trucks range from high 30s to 90k plus. And r work trucks many times. It should be easier/faster to do this job. These clips will get brittle and break just in time for replacement parts to become obsolete. Ill be doing mine soon

This is very easy especially on the XL trim. If this is too complicated for you, you probably shouldn't work on your own vehicle

@SmackeysGarage 2 ай бұрын

Yea I agree. The lower trim models are definitely the easiest due to not having as much of the trim in the interior.
