    I also have the same issue on my 3rd gen. It was working fine before and now it won't drop. Ac is blowing cold air and talked to the dealer but they said it is fine since it's still blowing cold air.

    Speaking of AC dripping... your drain tube under the truck drips directly onto the frame of the truck. Which over time is gonna equal lots of rust. You can buy a brass dual male hose connection and add about 5 inches of hose and have it drip onto the ground. Save your frame a little. Just FYI

    Was planning on getting around to that.

    There’s zero rust on this frame though even in the ac drip area

    I’ve got no drips either... just the cool breeze coming out of the AC drain tube. No water on the passenger floor and good cooling through the vents. Should I be concerned?

    Depends.. how warm is it where you're at?

    With the system running, pop the hood and check for condensation on the ac lines. If they're dripping wet out in the engine bay then the evaporator should be dripping in the dash.

    My AC works great but not dripping on the ground under my truck and my driver side floor carpet is slightly wet on and off it drys when it sets and the floor mat is not in it but when I drive it I noticed that it was damp again.

    Drip tube is plugged or disconnected under the dash.
