Mystery part

[FC1]

On our last run to Texas and back. When you started it. The blower made a lot of noise. Now I a lot quieter.

The oem filter is a single piece.

On the diesel. It's a 2 piece charcoal filter. On the 3.6. It's a 1 piece non charcoal filter. And it's cheaper.

I plan on changing my cabin air filter out tomorrow, so this post was quite handy. Well, handy in the sense that it made me say "WHAT ?!?!?! TWO FILTERS ?!?! WHY ?!?!". I've only replaced the one. Further reading I learned that the 3.6 only has one filter. Whew !!

I was in a panic, because I bought my Jeep used and the dealer promised me the air and cabin filters have been replaced. I said, "Huh, yeah right" and gave him a smirk. He repeated himself. The very next day after I drove it home, I checked. Yep, engine filter brand spanking new. Pulled the cabin, it looks every bit of original from the factory. Beyond nasty. I contemplated going back to show him, but it wasn't worth the 50 minute ride each way. Snap a pic and email him ? Why does he care, he already has my signature on the paperwork.

Yep
Bought mine used also.
Steeler ship will tell you anything to make a sale.

Charcoal to cut down the diesel smell, I bet. Probably work better in high smog areas etc.

The dealership is a "stealership" because the truck has the filter it's supposed to have and the owner was ignorant to that fact? I don't understand.

It only had half the part it was supposed to have.

In MY situation, I was told both filters have been replaced. If I followed his advice and trusted him, I would've went another 10,000 miles before I replaced it. It was absolutely beyond filthy.

I was also told they just changed the oil. Yeah, had that done, also, first thing. Now I know it's history, not something I was told.

Believe half of what you see, none of what you hear.

I get all that, I'm not defending dealerships. F them. I was just confused as to what their role was in the case of the missing cabin filter that's not missing at all.

It had 1 filter in it. It was supposed to have 2 for its application

What's the 2nd one?

What's the 2nd one?

Ok. There are two filters filling the cabin air filter housing. The dealer only put one in, leaving half the air flow to be completely unfiltered. Get it now?
