What's more important is the unwanted farts that you are able to sick on your passengers with not only the recirc function, but also the window lock function.

The filter is OE. I bought my truck from the original owner who bought it new. He never had the HVAC box apart, never changed the blower motor. I am the first person to pull the blower motor, and the filter was in there. I have seen something somewhere about the filter and replacing it and remember looking at the replacement filter, but as for a part number IDK. Like I said before, the filter is not made to be replaced as regular matinance.The A/C evaporator gets most of the debris. Some will end up in the heater core. Don't forget to blow that out, too.
Wild Guess: The "scotchbrite" filter being discussed is NOT OEM. Anyone have a GM part number for this sort of filter? I'm guessing "no", but I'm prepared to learn something. I bet someone thought it was a good idea, and stuffed it in there on that one vehicle.

As soon as the guy in the video pulls the evap core, he flips it around. And yes in the video it looks like its on the down stream side, but I was able to remove mine from the blower fan hole in the HVAC box with out removing anything but the fan. Its just hard to reach inside there from where the fan bolts up, without removing anything else. Why in the video, he had leaves and junk on the other side of the evap core IDK. I started all of this in hopes of the AC blowing harder. I cleaned out the blower motor area first, even rinsing it with a water hose, and removing the screen filter. That didnt do much to improve air flow though. Changing the blower motor and resistor with new parts was the ticket.Kenny,
I see the screen you're referring to. It appears it's on the down stream side of the of the heater core, which is interesting why that would be there. When running the AC the air is diverted to the evaporator, so I don't THINK that it should affect the flow of the air when in AC mode.
