I recently changed the cabin filter in my car. Having never done so in my Silverado, I started researching it. Finding nothing on that subject on-line, I called the local dealership: the 2011 Silverad...
At one point GM had a conversion kit for Silverado\Sierra customers who complained of excess interior dust. There are also retro-fit kits available. The video shows what to cut to open up the slot for the filter.
