@rolivas your truck does not have a cabin air filter. GM stopped using them some time ago. They used to be under the dash but have been discontinued in the mid 2000's.

I have a 2013 gmc. I had the same problem, not where it’s supposed to be. So I called my dealership and it turns out I do have a cabin filter. It is under the dash. But on mine you have to drop the lower half of a black plastic casing. So for $59.00, I just let the dealership do it. That was labor and filter.

My 2012 GMC does not have an air filter in the cabin. There is a blank under the dash but it is not cut out. I did find on YouTube if you want to add one there is a kit to do so and it comes with a filter cover and screw. To install it you will need to cut out the blank install the filter and cover and screw it in place.
