Okay for anyone who has been experiencing a musty damp type smell you cannot get rid of with air fresheners, try replacing the cabin filter. I used the $27 one with Febreeze effect and what a magnificent difference. I bought my 1500 used from a dealer and they never changed the cabin air filter. Instead they put in 5 air freshener wafers under the seats that smelled like a Guido from NYC...lol.
I love UA-cam mechanics how to channels like this. They have singlehandedly saved me thousands just in what you would pay for "labor" at a shop as you can see this cabin airfilter install wasn't worth 100$ the video was almost 6 minutes 2 of those minutes was the commentary in the beginning a total of 4 minutes to install the shop would've charged you parts and 1 hours worth of labor.
Dude, Great video! Very detailed, instructions were right on point, and not too long. I subscribed immediately after viewing. I’ve owned my Ram 6 yrs and never new about that filter.
Good vid, just didn't have same setup on my 2015. Anyone else with the same setup that doesn't have the door from the factory you can cut out the area with a oscillating tool and add a door.
Thank you! I was told I would have to cut the plastic housing since Dodge don't worry about it unless you wanted to pay them for a Retrofit. The shops $100 $80 labor and $20 parts, ridiculous. I will have to check my cabin filter now
Worked great, only thing was that the pull-back string is spring loaded so I had to hold it pulled out while replacing the glove box so it would not get pulled out of reach.
I watched this video and subd. I found a google page specific to my 2016 in the 4th Gen., which stated my year already had the door. It did not. I had already ordered the Fram. On to finding this part # for the cabin air filter door.
2015 Dodge Laramie 1500 doesn’t have one😢. Former owners smoked weed and talk about stink when AC is turned on🤢. My son was pulled out of class in high school due to the dog drug sniffers zeroed on his truck.
thanks dude, great help, by the way, my truck (Dodge ram) just have half hot area when is on, n driver side is cold, at this time tha is crazy, any idea or tip?
I am looking at my 2011 ram 1500 laramie and same thing. There ISNT a door. Just a place for a door that apprears it needs to be cut out and a door added to it
My 2016 1500 Laramie doesn't have tabs on the side of three air filter. Been looking at other videos and I'm seeing that they are using a blade to cut at that seam and then replace it. 🤷♀️ Seems weird to me!
The importance of the cabin air filter is that if you don't filter that air, your evaporator core will....and when it gets clogged up, you won't flow as much air in your HVAC system.
My 2016 ram 1500 apparently does not have a cabin filter? Took out the glove box and nowhere behind it does it say “air filter “. It’s just a flat surface.
Off topic but is there a way to replace the rear cabin vents from inside the cab on a 2014 1500? I had the seats and sound barrier removed but couldn't get it out. Is it possible or do I have to remove the bed and replace it from the exterior?
I don't have that cover and I cannot find it in that location. In addition, I don't see the filter housing in that location. All I have is a void there with no filter attached. Any alternatives, maybe?
Mines a 2016 Ram 1500....made the mistake of not taking a peak behind the glove box before i bought the filter....and there's no door. I just blew 25 bucks.
Not $25 blown. Take a box cutter with a sharp blade and cut open the spot. Insert filter. You'll also need to purchase the cover that goes over the gap you've created. I'm searching for a kit right now that includes that cover and a filter. Slightly miffed that I have a Limited that doesn't even include a filter and cover. I gotta do a slight mod for something that should be standard.

Thanks for saving us 75$!!! Much appreciated; so easy and straightforward when you shows us how!
Easy to understand, the guy should be a shop teacher

Got a 2011 and no door
Thanks for the video, just changed my cabin filter in minutes.
Nice job! Explained in "common folk" English.
God Bless You and Yours...
That works perfectly on my 2018.
I couldn't believe how dirty it was!
Took me like 15seconds to pull out. Thank you brotha
Went looking for it and there you were with exactly what I needed!
Perfect. Thanks.
happy the video helped! truly nice and simple

It takes about 10 minutes to replace. shops make big money doing these
My 2015 doesn’t have a door you have to cut it out
@@willywonka6252currently having the same issue with my 2012

Simple , quick , easy. Thank you man
Liked n sub’d
"skilled finger work" got me wetter than Katrina ; )
Awesome man, this definitely came in handy
Easy and simple DIY video👌🏽
Great explanations. Excellent video
Man I love me some Ram.
Well done video. Bravo
Nice job compared to some mechanical videos. Thanks.
Not all 1500 have the cabin filter. Mine is a 2015 SLT and where the filter goes is sealed off. You can cut through the plastic and mod it though.
Same here on my 16 lonestar 1500. No words on mine and the pegs on the side are different and do as video
Do I have to cut an opening???
Thank you! Going to GetRRRR done manana
love it!
Jiffy lube tried to rip me off thanks Alex you’re my hero
sounds like a jiffy lube kind of thing
Same for the ecodiesel? Thank you for the video
Thanks buddy 💪💪

My 14 ram doesn't have a door and you have to buy a kit and cut out where your door is. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I don't understand how that could happen lol. makes no sense
I am looking at my 2011 ram 1500 laramie and same thing. There ISNT a door. Just a place for a door that apprears it needs to be cut out and a door added to it
Same here with my 2016…what a pain in the ass.
Yeah same I have a 15 with no door.
Typical Mopar
Thank you very helpful
Cabin air filter is important if you like to breath! Diesel on the highway is worst smell ever
Thank you
My 2016 1500 Laramie doesn't have tabs on the side of three air filter. Been looking at other videos and I'm seeing that they are using a blade to cut at that seam and then replace it. 🤷♀️ Seems weird to me!
They tried to charge me $280 lol thank you
So mine doesn’t have that cover thing on it ?? So I’d assume it doesn’t have a cabin air filter
interesting, I'm honestly not sure. I would assume that every ram 1500 comes with an air filter. yours may be in a different location.
The importance of the cabin air filter is that if you don't filter that air, your evaporator core will....and when it gets clogged up, you won't flow as much air in your HVAC system.

Mine doesn't look like that for some reason. It's the same but mine is solid and can't remove the old one.
Yea my 2016 limited looks nothing like that
I don't have that cover and I cannot find it in that location. In addition, I don't see the filter housing in that location. All I have is a void there with no filter attached. Any alternatives, maybe?
Same with mine I cut the plastic and have no filter. My guess is that you should put a filter on that area that’s what I’m gonna do
My 2012 ram 1500 doesn’t seem to be the same. No side tabs. No seem. Look like I’d have to cut it or remove that whole unit.

Mines a 2019 classic 1500, same applies?
Good 👍
I'm going to change the one in my wife's ram and noticed that the fan makes a squeaky sound, would the cabin filter have anything to do with that?
No is shouldn't, odds are the blower motor is starting to fail or something got inside it and the blades are hitting it.
@@TheGettyAdventures Thanks, hope the fan is easy to remove .
Thanks.....now the vast cost they charge for replacing a headlight.
lol also crazy how much they charge for that!
does replacing the cabin filter improve a/c
it will help with air flow but not directly improve AC
@@TheGettyAdventures Thank you 😊
Wow what a scam 😂 thanks !
Great video 👍👌
Mike Loftis 🙌👍
I have a 2010R it does not have a place for a filter
My 2008 ram does not have one
Does it include 2004?
no it does not unfortunately
strange .
my ram 1500 2014 dose not have Cabin Air Filter door . it look like sealed .
Really eh?? that seems odd. I'll see if can find any info on that

Check this
I don't know why it is like that?
Mine is different.
Goober smoocher
The 2016 ram doesnt have that for some reason
very strange, not sure why that would be
A lot of them don't. Depends which day of the week they were made
this is not at all like what 1500 Ram 2015 looks like.
Doesn’t work on a 2012.
Get your facts straight.
Dealerships are over priced on everything. I avoid dealerships at all cost. Overpriced vehicles , parts and service!
Yup, it takes 2 seconds to do this and they probably charge .5 hours or something at 120/hr. and not to mention the massive mark ups on air filters.
