A/C drain location?

Hi all,

Trying to locate my a/c drain tube on my super duty. Noticed the other day no water draining with the a/c running. Wanna check to make sure the tube is not clogged.

Thx.

It exits just inboard and forward of passenger side front wheel. Follow it up from there.

Mine exits rearward of the passenger side front wheel. They may not all be the same.

You don't need this but I got the computer that I keep the manuals on fixed.
FINALY Got off my @ and fixed it!
With that in mind here are some PDFs for the evaporator housing.

Sounds like a case of tinnitus.

If you having ringing in the ear, you have a significant hearing loss in that ear. Time to get a hearing test. What you will find is that the frequency of the ringing is the frequency that you "hear" the worst. Mine is at 3000Hz, right in the high/middle of the female voice range. Convenient, eh?

Only once after an accident. Last night I found that even though I was clear some decongestant helped quit a bit.

I have not had one done in a long time and should go in and have it done just to see where I am.
I have the good habit of PPE so if it is going to make noise I have on the muffs.

Most people would be surprised at some of the things that make damaging noise.
The spray wand of a pressure washer kicks out a lot of high frequency. Then there
are the yard tools and shop tools and guns of course.

The range is just right where us guys need it. But really is seems that most men
are at a deficit in that range.

Now here is the odd thing I still can hear high frequency sounds like the "Teen Tone"
crying babies and bad windings in old TVs and they all drive my up the wall.

The problem with a computer, iPad, smartphone test like this is the capability of the devices speakers, so for it to work well, the speakers need to be capable.

All of us in the facility would have hearing tests every 2 years, along with our CDL exams. I also had it as part of our pre employment exam. A few decades back brake noise was all reported subjectively so it was an important part of the job. On bad weather days we used to see who could hear frequencies at the lowest decibel. Weird brake test driver games.
I developed tinnitus after we closed the facility and in the years since I found the trigger for me often was my diesel tractor. It wasn't the same frequency my left ear is at, but its the trigger. I'm now finding my neck arthritis is also a trigger.

Mine is due to being a machine gunner in the Army. Fired lots and lots of rounds with no hearing protection at all. Tested before ETS and said it was bad but not bad enough.

We had a few LEOs apply for the job that never made it due to hearing loss. As a group, and the majority of us had 20+ years in service, our left ears were the weakest and that's where my tinnitus is. Listening for brake noise the windows were always open to some degree, so our left ears got the most wind noise. Going to noise acquisition instrumentation with subjective ratings sidelined kept everyone in rotation for durability testing.
