How to change cabin filter on a 01 3500?

Anyone know of a place on the net that tells how to change the cabin filter? Any good leads on where to get them? I haven't really started looking for where to buy them, mainly because I have no idea on how to change it. Thanks for any info.

There is a filter for your AC inside the dash, if you take out your glove box you can see it.

I didnt know they came with cab filters. Are you sure that is what your looking at? Because when I use to park under trees that dropped little tiny yellow things, if I turned the blower on high I would get some that fell through the cowl. Didnt park there for long since I didnt like those thing blowing out the vents. Any cars I have had that had them were easy to get at but were very expensive.

Acording to my book only the minivans have them, not the dodge pickups.

If Geno's sells it you should have no problems..

Geno's does sell one but it is an aftermarket filter kit. It goes over the fresh air intake below the windshield on the outside of the vehicle. Sometimes I have to park under some trees and didn't want all the little needles falling in there clogging up my hvac components so I purchased one and it does work well as a filter for sticks, needles and cuts down on the dust that gets in but thats about it. However it does what I needed it to do so I am happy with it.

Ok, after looking it isn't a cabin filter after all, but just a foam covered door that swings open and closed depending on if max air or normal air is selected. Thanks for the input guys.
