Just checked my 2003 F150, and same thing. I have owned this truck 20 years now, did many oil changes myself and had many oil changes done by Jiffy Lube. What pisses me off is, those little thieving rats brought a filthy cabin air filter to the waiting room, dusty, leaves, mold...asked if I wanted a new one, which I gladly paid for so I didn't have to do it. I knew better than to trust a shop but they were strict about customers walking through the shop. I got taken many times on this. Probably didn't even change the oil filter. Thanks for taking the time to make this video🙂

Ese filtro que le puso a la f150 es de lo más corriente, ya que esta fabricado en China, y en ese país solo hacen productos de muy baja calidad.

Great video. I didn't have a saw small enough to get in there, just used a box cutter and came out smooth. Thanks for the info.

They said 99 doesn't have one I pulled a disgusting old filter out of mine just now in 2024 and completely appalled by how shitty it is I was thinking I didn't have one for a long time until I reached up in there and watched this video step by step like you said. Thanks for your help though the simple task at hand

Great video. Proof that a good ol country boy can fix about anything.

my daughter's 2009 toyota corolla is SO MUCH easier than this! You just have to go behind the glove box and it easily pops out. I have a 1998 f150 and I was going to do this and found your video! Glad I found out about this!!!!

2002 F150 owner - I had no idea! Excellent information! Thanks much and blessings to you!

Did mine 2 years ago. I think Ford start with the frame, and the 1st part they put on is a heater core, and everything else gets bolted on around it. There is zero reason why it cant be placed inside a removable ABS housing under the dash.

Gracias, desde Monterrey Nuevo León, México.

Thats insane, that FORD failed to cut that out.

Liked your video, but something i dont think many people are aware of is the early 1999 F350 is totally different under the dash, among some other things. Mine is a one owner (inherited from my dad in 08) F350 crewcab dully, 7.3, auto w/tow package, 95,000 original miles. Produce in 08/98. It has no provision for a cabin air filter. This doesn't surprise me. They also have a different turbo compressor wheel, it's better than the later ones.

I got an 03 and just recently got the ac fixed, only to find it's blowing its ass off but barely anything at the vents. Can't believe you have to cut the filter out. Can't wait to do this in the am. It's too damn hot!!!

I thank you for this video my brother in Christ im going to do this right now.

this is probably the most informative video i have ever seen on youtube!!!!what i want to know is how you found that filter in the first place?? i would have never found it if i tore the whole pick up apart!!!! thanks for saving me 6 months of putting my pickup back together!! thanks for the great video!!!!

I felt like there had to be some type of filter. A guy that I deal with at the Ford Dealer Parts Dept did some digging and found me a Part#. I had the Parts Manager at Advance Auto to cross the Part#.

A vibrating tool will cut through the plastic with a smoother cut, reducing cleanup time.

Two thumbs up 👍👍

😅Thanks. My Heritage has no recess for the filter. Great job creating the space for filter but I will leave mine as is for the next 20 years. 😊

I also took the blower motor off because of lack of airflow put my phone up the hole took a picture of a/c condenser coil plugged up looks like black potting soil had to get a good tarp put it on the floor use a/c coil cleaner spray that than after 10 minutes use a garden hose to rinse off got the airflow to return without spending 2 k remove the whole dash

If you look in that area and do not see a Cabin Air Clean Cover. And you have looked all over to find a Air Filter Cover. That is a indication that you will need to do the same thing.
