(2003 SC 5.4)
I'm beginning to notice in the mornings, a small pubble forming
on the ground right underneath the cab as my truck warms up
outside.
I switch it to "panel" (at the warmest setting on the thermostat) when I start up.
...My question is:
Is my AC compressor engaging at this setting and this is the condensed cab moisture purging? (like on a hot, humid day?)

Kinda puzzling. I really don't like the idea of my clutch working in
wintertime climates, I'm just a guy looking for some HEAT on
our chilly mornings!!

Thanks,
Dave

I notice the same thing on mine. It seems to be coming off of the cat. I think it is just condensation from a hot cat and a really cold morning, I hope! Levi

I've actually seen it dripping,...
It looks just like the typical AC drip on a humid Maryland July day.
I'm checking different settings as it gets colder.
On the wife's 97 Merc Villager, the AC kicks on if you set it on "warm/defrost"...hmmm

Is it me, or does my Dealer/Sales staff no VERY little
about the products they sell?

I know more about my truck than they do...
When I took delivery, I wanted to know where the fuel pump cutoff
switch was. They didn't have a clue.
(My own personal sales person had no idea what it even was)
He gets out the owners manual!!! duhhh

Q: Is this a full size spare underneath?
A: Gee, I really don't know.

Q: Why can't I disable the passenger side airbag?
A: Gee, I really don't know.

Q: Is this truck pre-drilled for the running boards?
A: Gee, I really don't know.

Q: Does this engine has 2 timing chains or one continuous one?
A: Gee, I really don't know.

Q: Do I really have to keep making the payments?????
A: Gee, I really don't know.

I had fun with my guy.... he was a hoot.
He didn't know what day it was.

vrrooooM

 

The A/C clutch will operate in the Defrost and Floor/Defrost position. This is to pull the moisture out of the vehicle to eliminate the windows fogging.

I get a drip and puddle under the cab also but it's not from the A/C - it's dripping from the exhaust joint under the cab - condensation.
