I have an '05 DC with 34,000 miles on it and I know that there is no cabin air filter but I was wondering if anyone else notices a musty smell from their A/C every now and then. Is there something that can be done to remedy this ? I had an '00 Chevy and changed the filter regularly to eliminate the odor but I'm not sure how to handle this one.
Thanks for any information you guys might have ... and Go Horns !!! Final Four Baby !!!
I pulled the HVAC blower last month to clean it. Man can that squirrel cage get dirty!
After removing the blower assembly, I discovered that you can reach up there and access the evaporator.

Disconnect the wire harness.
Remove the blower assembly. 3 bolts (10mm if I recall)
To get to the evaporator, reach up about 4-6" and you'll find a hole leading towards the center of the car. You can feel the evap in there.
Get some Lysol or whatever and spray as much as you can stand in there...really soak it down. (I used about a full can).
Get out of the truck before the fumes make you go blind.
Now's a good time to service your blower if you want.
Clean up that fan.
Lube the motor to get rid of the chirp.
Replace the blower and run it for a while to clear some of the lysol fumes, they'll be pretty intense for a while.
