Driver.... Are you feeling sick?

This post is more geared toward company drivers... But some newer O/O may need to know as well.

If you have been feeling ill lately, it may just be your cabin air filter. I know many of those big fleet trucks don't change those things. My Peterbilt use to be a fleet truck before I bought it. Never bothered with checking the cabin air filter until today.... This is what I found!







This what one should look like.... The new one I put in.







So if you have been feeling ill, you may want to take a look at what your breathing! I've been sick for well over a week! Second time in a month that I've been sick. I'm already feeling better just knowing that I am no longer breathing what ever was in that filter!

 

Now you got me searching for more of those little things on my truck!

 

The only one I have for the cab is under the glove box... But I should have one for the sleeper also. I'm getting out my handy dandy flash light right now & gonna go look!

 

Are you asking about a repair book? Something like a hainess or chilton's manual? I would love to find one of those.

I'm still researching the cabin air filters. I found the following 2 sites that supply part numbers. The second link also shows you where the filters are located on each truck....
