How to Change 11th Gen 2004-08 F-150 Cabin Air Filter
If you are new to the 11th gen 2004-08 F-150 platform, you are understandably looking for filters to change on your new-to-you truck. Despite some websites having filters that appear to be compatible with this generation of F-150, there is NO cabin air filter on these trucks.
For whatever reason, Ford did not equipment F-150's with cabin air filters until 2015. There was a very rare 10th gen (1997-2004 F-150 Heritage) dealer installed cabin air filter. That rare option is where the cabin air filters are coming from and they DO NOT fit the newer trucks.
I have seen this question posted so much over the years and figured it would help some new comers realize there is no cabin air filter to change.

I had an auto mechanic say that he would change my cabin air filter for $25. I bet him a free oil change if he couldn't find it. I sure liked the free oil change!!!!

Anyone who owns one of these trucks should send a girl in it to their local mechanic if they don't do their own work. Have her ask the mechanic to change the cabin air filter. See if she gets charged for a cabin air filter or not. LOL.... A good honesty test for the local mechanic.

I have an 04 Expedition, which as you know is mostly the same thing as your F150. For 18 yrs I wondered why it has no cabin air filter, then I saw the title of this video and fell out of my chair. Until I realized I had been tricked... Cabin air filters on my 17 Explorer and 19 F150 are a PIA to swap out, but it actually does make the interior smell better.

@3VJohnny Жыл бұрын

Haha sorry 😂 I have seen that as so much over the years that I figured "tricking" people would be the best way to confirm the actual answer for them. It's silly ford went so many years without it. The filter works excellent on my mustang and other vehicles I've been around over the years.

Thanks 3V Johnny! I have a 2004 NON-Heritage and have been searching for something that doesn't exist. SO, HOW CAN I spray Lysol into the fan and freshen up the cabin?

@3VJohnny 9 ай бұрын

So around your windshield wiper cowl area, there is an air intake for your HVAC. When I first bought my truck way back in 2009, it did have a bit of a musty smell. I sprayed Lysol in there and it never came back after that and that was quite some years ago. The key with the mildew smell is often condensation in the HVAC system, especially from people who just shut the vehicle off with the AC turned on. Instead, it's best to shut the AC off as you get close to your destination to let the vehicle pull from fresh air outside before shutting it down.

So, what does a person do if the air coming from the vents has a stanky smell then???

@3VJohnny Жыл бұрын

There could be different reasons for that. Here is something I learned years ago and it has worked every time. I had the same issue when I bought my truck and my Mustang because people often use the air conditioner and shut it right off when the vehicle gets shut off. If you're using the air conditioning, when you start to get within a mile or two of your destination shut it off and keep the blower on so that the system is able to suck in clean air. If you don't I believe it gets condensation and can grow mold. Make sure recirculation is off. You can start your vehicle and turn the air conditioning on and spray Lysol at the intake for the HVAC system under the hood. That has solved any issues I've had in the past and then I follow the above every time and have never had it come back.
