I'm sure some of you already know about this, but I'll go ahead and post it anyways.

If you take off your kick panel and the sound deadener you will see a small (5x8?) access panel in the sheet metal, there are 4 screws holding it on, take out those 4 screws and remove the panel, you might be surprised what you will find!

Behind the panel is where the cowl drains, the other day I noticed water leaking from around the panel, so I removed it and found 5lbs worth of leafs and mud!

Needless to say the cowl drains a lot faster now.

Might be something worth checking out on your trucks before you get any water damage.

 

What kick panel?

 

Both of them.

 

Sorry, I meant what is a kick panel?

 

Kick panel really defines it's name, right under the dash, heading up the floor on the side. On the drivers side, you always kick it when you push on your parking brake. lol

On the passengers side, careless passengers kick it with there dirty shoes, making me yell and clean it up again.....

 

Oh, I didn't know if he was talking from a perspective in or outside the truck.
