Has anyone added a cabin air filter to their 2011+ Super Duty?

Buy one of those small room air purifier systems for the inside of the truck; can plug it into the existing outlets. Some are slim and you could probably create something to hold it in the ceiling.

Has anyone else done anything like that?

Thanks.

There now is a legit cabin air filter for the f250 sds!!!!! True story, not a gimmick like the one that goes on the wiper blade!!!!!

I never understood why ford never installed a cabin filter when the designed the first generation SD in 1999...GM and dodge have cabin filters since 1996 or 1997

will say I pulled my blower motor and duct work open this summer on my 2004 and it was nearly SPOTLESS not one leaf or bug not even dust layer on the inside. I guess always shutting g off the HVAC system when I see a big cloud of dirt or something along them lines has really helped after all these years

We have a 2010 F350 that the evaporator plugged up on. I took out the blower motor under the dash and used a shop vac to try and get the junk out of there. That didn't work well, so I pulled the glove box lid out, and drilled a hole in the air box. I could get an air wand in there to blow it out. I used a shop vac still to help keep the dust out of the cabin. Then I plugged the hole off with one of those red plastic plugs you can cap a hose off temporarily with.
It would be nice to have a cabin air filter. It gets plugged easily on the farm.

I watched a YouTube video on this subject a while back but now I cant find it. Owner of a 3 year old CD Super Duty used in a landscaping business had a plugged evaporator. The dealer told him it was plugged from running the ac on recirculate and picking up dirt from the inside of the truck. Dealer told him to make sure his employees clean their clothes before entering truck.

I received an email notification of a reply to this post. When I read it the guy responded and said he sells the kit but I couldn't view the post on the site. What's the deal? If someone actually came up with a real filter idea I'd like to know.
