    For the last month or so when I go out to start the truck every morning I have more ice on the inside than on the out.:( I know its condensation on the inside but where it's coming from gets me. I have checked all the places on the cab that lead out and they seem to be sealed properly. Anyone every had this problem? If so please let me know what you did about it.

    I've had the same problem... haven't found a fix yet. Covering the vents under the windshield with a towel at night doesn't help.

    Ice in Alabama? :confused:

    Is your evaporator drain tube clear? You might have a lot of water in the evap box and maybe that's raising the humidity in your truck enough to condense on the windshield? :notsure:

    Are your carpets wet? Especially your passenger foot well.

    I get this pretty bad as well in my 2nd gen, foggiest vehicle inside I have ever been around!

    I believe its from getting in with snow on my boots ect, and getting the carpet wet from the melting snow.

    My solution is to try and avoind getting to much snow on the carpet, and on long drives cranking floor heat to dry it off. Airing it out with the window down and heater on seems to help as well.

    The rain X anti fog does NOTHING, FYI.

    Yes! Whenever I vacuumed the floor last time I noticed the passenger side carpet was soaked.

    And yes ice in Alabama. Usually just when it frosts. It use to only fog on the inside then it started freezing.

    I bet your evaporator drain is clogged.

    Gently poke a coat hanger in the drain nipple (found in the engine bay, on the passenger side of the firewall about 1/2 way down).
