K&N Cabin Filters Help Full Size Chevy or GMC Truck and SUV Owners Breathe Easy
- May 2, 2016
In the automotive world, full size trucks and SUVs are extremely profitable because they can share the same cheap-to-make ladder frame, suspension, and drivetrain. That allows GM to use the same basic recipe to make vehicles like the 2014-2015 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, the 2014-2015 GMC Sierra, Sierra HD, Yukon, Yukon Denali, and the 2015 Cadillac Escalade. One of the many components these trucks share is the cabin filtration system, which uses a thick paper filter to keep contaminants like dust and mold from entering the cabin through the HVAC system. These filtered climate control systems can make life a lot more pleasant for allergy sufferers. But if you don't change your OEM cabin air filter often, your allergies could actually get a whole lot worse.
A GM cabin filtration system utilizes a paper cabin air filter that lives in a special compartment located behind the glovebox. Before the heated or cooled air is blown through the vents, it's forced through the OEM cabin air filter to remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants. The problem is, once the dirt starts to buildup, airflow will gradually become more restricted. Some of those contaminants can also get pushed through and around the clogged filter and into the cabin, resulting in stuffy air, and worsening allergy symptoms. To keep all of that from happening, the K&N VF2044 cabin air filter is made from a synthetic material that's been electrostatically charged to hold dirt in place. As air flows through the filter, contaminants and allergen particles get trapped inside the synthetic fibers, where they'll remain until you clean it. This design helps to keep airflow from becoming restricted as dirt builds up inside the filter. It's also more effective at filtering out dirt, dust, pollen, mold spores, fungus, mildew, bacteria, germs, and other allergens. Then every 12-months or 12,000 miles (depending on road conditions), you can simply clean your K&N cabin filter using the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit. You can even clean it more often if you want. OEM cabin air filters are disposable, less efficient, and fairly expensive to buy every year. The reusable K&N VF2044 cabin air filter on the other hand, may very well be the last cabin filter that you have to buy for your car. It's also covered by the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so the performance is guaranteed. Plus, K&N makes an entire range of performance parts, designed to help you get even more out of your Chevrolet or GMC truck or SUV.
