Whenever I'm in my truck with the Heat or AC on for more than 5 minutes my throat itches and I start sneezing. I have horrendous seasonal allergies. I think the HVAC filter is clogged with pollen or something. Can I just wash it out or do I have to replace it. Also, Where would it be in my truck (paging TheLoudMusic). I really love this truck and I don't want to have to get rid of it because its making me sick.

There doesn't seem to be a cabin air filter for the Ranger. from the same thread I found, stuff could clogging up the the air intake.

got tools and a free weekend? you could always disassemble the whole dash and clean out ALL the duct work. it's a shitload of work but it makes a huge difference. my first car was way used and previously owned by a smoker. i had the same problem until my dad and i cleaned out the whole thing.

Maybe try compressed air blown through the ducts, otherwise roll the windows down?

You laugh, but an actual gas mask would work, but people would think you're up to no good.

I have one you can borrow, actually. Two new filters too.

Though it may smell vaguely of weed...

Cabin air intake is around here against the fender IMO. I Could be wrong.
