So, I have a condensate drip in the passenger footwell. I cant tell where it is coming from. Condensate does come out of the drain in the firewal (engine compartment) but will drip into the cab. Ideas? Note: its quite a bit of water after an hour or so of driving. Cant find any cracks etc. :confused: Thanks!Ken

Great minds think alike! My thought, like yours is that it's from the A/C. But if the engine compartment drain works, you'd think it would not back up in the cab... Ideas Guys?Russ

I had the same problem from the day I bought my truck brand new. The stealership actually replaced my carpet twice and told me it was a bad weatherseal on the passenger door. finaly being sick and tired of dealing with them, and being tired of the smell of mildew in my truck I decided to find it. Well I found that where the drain comes through the firewall in the engine compartment it is just a plastic tube about 1 1/2" long. looking at the firewall it had a hole that was about 1/2" larger than the tube comming through it. I could put myfinger through and touch the insulation under the carpet. This is where all the water was comming from. I would guess that there is supposed to be a rubber bushing of some sort but it was not there.I took a washer (I think it was for a shock bushing, the kind that is like a cup with a hole in it) and drilled the center out with a step bit until it would fit over the drain tube. I filled it with silicone gasket sealer and smashed it on so it covered the gap in the friewall. Then I took a peice of rubber hose and a hose clamp and put it on the drain tube and routed it so that the watter would drop behind the passenger a-arm. Problem solved. It's worked fine for about 5 Years.

Hahahahaha!!!!! I read the title of this thread, and thought someone was trying to get out of getting married!!!!!! LOL LOL

I am going to try an extension, but I think it might be something else. I have the HD insulation package, so if its coming back in the cab, it is doing so and going under that insulation pad. Thanks for the ideas!
