Just something weird........

I had my truck detailed yesterday at home. Well after the washing and paint coating the guy I use wanted to see more of the truck features so I went to get my key. To show off a little I cranked it as I was headed his way. The truck had been dry for an hour or more. As soon as it cranked a flood of water came out around the front bumper. It didn't seem like a big deal but it kept coming and there was so much I began to worry that a radiator hose has been knocked loose. It stopped after 20-30 seconds and it was not radiator fluid so we breathed a sigh of relief but that was a lot of water sitting somewhere over the front bumper. Im assuming the water was blown out by the radiator fan from someplace.

My truck will drip water for 30 minutes from the front bumper and fender areas when washed.

Water was likely sitting in the fins of the condenser and radiator and was drawn out by the pull of the engine fan...
