    I have owned this truck for 10 years. I never knew there was a cabin filter till today. Guess it is time to change it !

    Just turn it over, the other side is probably ok. :)

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Once every 10 years, whether it needs it or not...

    Not seeing the issue here, just put it back and do the next 10 year check.

    You might want to vacuum out any other debris from the filter chamber area, if you have a vacuum fitting that will go inside that little area.

    I rarely replace my filter, I check it every oil change and usually I can just tap or pick out the little bits of stuff in there.

    I LOLed at this, thank you.

    Make sure when running A/C the drain still drains condensation.
