How to Change the Cabin Filter on a Ford F-350
by Nathan McGinty
The F-350 is a heavy-duty pickup truck from one of America's oldest car manufacturers, Ford. Late-model Ford F-350s feature a cabin filter for the air circulation system. These filters work to clean dust and other allergens from the passenger cabin. If you notice that your F-350's air conditioner isn't working as well as before, it's probably time to change the cabin filter.
Step 1
Open the passenger side door.
Step 2
Look underneath the glove box. You should see a small rectangle, about 3 inches on each side, held in place with Phillips screws. Remove these with the screwdriver and set them aside.
Step 3
Pull the old cabin filter out by the tab in the center.
Step 4
Remove the new filter from its packaging and slide it into the retaining clips. Make sure the access tab is facing downward for easy access.
Step 5
Replace the cabin air filter cover. Secure in place with the screws.
Tips
- Replace your cabin air filter every 10,000 miles or 12 months. A dirty cabin air filter can cut down on the efficiency of your F-350's heating and air conditioning system. Change it more frequently if you regularly drive in dusty conditions.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver
- New cabin filter
Warnings
- Wear a mask when changing the filter if you are sensitive to dust or allergens.
