The main thing I'm wondering is where do we get the cabin filters?
Anyone know a part number or where to get them?

As far as I know, from the very little research I have done, there were no models/packages that specifically came with it.
I keep hearing the same thing that it was a "dealer option" and that certain ones would install the kit and certain ones wouldn't for whatever reason.
It sounds like it's pretty rare to have a truck that came with one.
It's kind of strange that they would leave something so basic off the truck when,from the looks of that video, it would take all of 10 mins to install one.
I'm gonna have to pop off that little plastic cover and check mine out.

That little plastic cover on the bottom with 3 bolts is actually an evaporator tray in case your air conditioning drips. I took it off last week to install the blower motor relay.
