Wet Feet

I have a 2000 F-350,7.3, 6 speed. Just the other day I made a turn and my passenger got her feet wet. It had been raining and I also had the ac on. A couple of days later the same thing happened, but it had not rained, just the ac on. Any ideas what is causing this. I do see condensate discharging under the truck. Thanks for any suggestions.

First guess...

Passenger side firewall, just below the heater/AC box, well hidden behind the exhaust pipe is a partially clogged drain nipple.

Try to bend a clothes hanger to access and clean it out.

Second guess: See below when other members post.

yes...there is a drain for the condenser...it gets clogged some times

another fix if you dont want to get your wife feet wet.,....use 2 /60 AC (windows open, drive 60mph). dont use the AC.

Can you describe where to locate the drain tube and the best way to clear it.

That doesn't work too good when it's 105 outside. Or if the girl has long hair that's not tied back.

Have you checked your water level, or does the truck have a "sweet" smell to it? An old truck I had developed a leak in the heater core that would drop water like that. On it the water would seem to pool somewhere in the dash and then pour out during a turn. Like others have said most likely the AC drain but something else to think about if that doesn't solve it.
