    I was cleaning out my truck and noticed that the passenger side floor was wet. Is it possible that the drain for the AC is clogged causing it to build up on my floor?

    LOL, sorry. Its under the dash on the passenger side, near the center. Under the hood you can see where it comes out of the fire wall. :)

    I had the same problem a while back. The tube came out the firewall and was turned upward. I just turned it back down and no more wet carpet.

    also if you notice any smell or the windshield fogs often it can be a heater core leak (not really known to happen on toys but still)

    I had a bad body seem on my 96. You could see the water drip in right between the body panels behind the carpet. I siliconed the crap out of the area in the engine compartment from the fender to the firewall. It seemed to work.

    I looked for anything that would look like a hose or drain tube and came up with nothing, if someone could take a pic of what I am looking for that would be great..

    The tube is in the engine compartment, on the passenger side. It comes straight out an inch or 2 and makes a 90* bend. It(the tube) is open on the end. I think that's a drain for the condensor. When I turned the tube to point down, I stopped getting wet spots on the carpet.

    Ok - Well I checked the tube and it's pointing down... but still getting damp carpet... any other ideas where it may be coming from??? Is there a way to "flush" that pipe and see if it's clogged?

    Is it pointing downward in the cab, or in the engine bay?

    Well, you could try and push some wire up into it and hopefully break what ever is blocking it. :confused:
