Hey guys.
Recently purchased a used 2012 Nissan Frontier with about 45k on the clock. I gave it a thorough look over and it seemed to be a pretty decent purchase. Bought it in January 2016. Cold weather, fan seemed kind of "meh", took a while to heat the truck up, and constantly got the smell of dog (i saw dog hair in places, cleaned up, freshened cleaned carpet etc).
Well I decided to change the Engine Air Filter and it appeared to be due, perhaps an oversight by the dealership. Did a few other maintenance items since I bought and today I decided to change the cabin filter.
#1 - Snapped the retaining clip on the cover *DOH
#2 - The amount of [censored] that came out was....i didn't think it was possible...seriously, in all my years I've never seen this MUCH stuff -_-.
Difference between output on the blower is night and day. Looking into how much of a challenge getting into the blower itself is going to be and possibly the air duct into the filter. Make sure it's all cleaned out, as I couldn't prevent "some" of this debris falling in there.
Items in the photo:
*Straw refuse
*Napkin refuse
*hair (cat?)
*dog hair (seperate)
*insulation?
*normal road items
Was expecting to pull out a dead animal of some sort given the amount of filth in there.
