Truck Cabin Air Filters
I thought this might be of interest to my TC trucking friends. I have a 2013 RAM as described in my signature, on one of the RAM boards I read about the lack of a cabin air filter for these trucks....

Never understood cabin air filters. do you wear a respirator when outdoors? Not open the windows in your home?
I replaced one in my Subaru Outback recently.
Wish I had taken a picture of that filter. I guarantee if you had seen the filter you would understand why they are used.
SO, you hold your breath while you walk from the house to the truck.
Most people's house and the walk to the car/truck is not on the freeway, and speaking for myself, I don't hold my breath while I walk from the house to the truck or my car either. However, I DO sit in traffic with my Subaru Outback sometimes for 2 hours at a time every day commuting to work; often not moving.. The air on the freeway or being stuck behind any other vehicle is nasty. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking advantage of any built in filter system available (or added)to help reduce the particulates, etc. that are in the air in that extremely unhealthy, dirty air situation. Why not? It' not like one is trying to sterilize the air..but rather to help improve what one is breathing while in a vehicle. :)
