HVAC cleaning

Hello All,

I took my 2012 Ram 3500 to get some mulch on a windy day. Needless to say the HVAC system now smells like mulch. I need to clean it to get the odor out.

Where is the intake for the HVAC system?

The intake is between the firewall and the windshield on the outside passenger side, you'll see a plastic mesh, chances are that the dust has made it's way into the heater plenum and will take some getting out, you need to do this mod ASAP. I see people buying new trucks but no one talks of doing the cabin filter mod. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d-t284729.html
