    I recently bought my tuck and it was/is working great , however my AC is making a weird noice like hisses sort of idk how to suscribe it. But there’s condensation under the glove box closed to the floor where there is water build up but the AC works good and the water is clear and doesn’t taste like chemical. Yes I tasted it to make sure no I didn’t swallow and two there’s no color or aroma to it. Anyone run into this ? So it’s been raining a lot here lately and it didn’t start till that happened

    Heater core may be leaking.
    Take it to an auto a/c specialist instead of guesses on a forum.

    Water in passenger floor isn’t a drain issue most likely, it’s probably the box sweating. I don’t know how to fix it, mine does it quite frequently and it’s very annoying.

    A system that's working properly does not cause "the box sweating".

    Mine is working properly. It has sweat since day one. I’m gonna guess up there in Canada you aren’t using it enough to get it to that point.

    The ducts sweat too. Nothing wrong with the system will cause that to happen.

    I would agree with @BLtheP especially if you live in a warmer humid climate. Warm air on the cold A/C case.

    Is the evap drain tube dripping on the ground outside?

    Because if the hvac box is leaking inside the cabin and the drain tube isn't dripping outside the cabin then that's a plugged drain..
