03 f350. Just wondering if anyone could tell me why all of my windows are frosting over on the inside? I haven't driven or started the truck on a couple of weeks. Tonight it's about 45 outside so no frost but the windows are all frosted over inside.
That's because you obviously have water in the cab causing moisture buildup. The windshield is a prime suspect as they are known to leak.
It was raining last week quite a bit. I haven't noticed any water in the cab but I guess I'll take a look under the dash tomorrow and see what I can see. Thanks for the info.
I'd say definitely excess humidity in your cab either from wet boots or a leak. If you cant find the source right away, think about putting a container of DampRid or a small bucket of calcium chloride (ice melt) in the cab to absorb some of that moisture. It will help temporarily.

Thanks for the info. I noticed some paint flake on one of the cab marker lights , I'm going out in a few minutes to see if I have a rust hole around the lights.
The carpet may ‘feel’ dry to the touch but the underlying insulation may still be damp. By the look of your windows I would think there is something fairly wet someplace. Was the back center window left open? Do you have a back seat? If so might try taking it out to see what the carpet and underlying insulation is like there.

It's a single cab, no back seat., It started pouring down rain when I was going to check out the water. I couldn't find anything wet inside, I will have to pull some molding and pull the carpet back to see if it's wet underneath. There wasn't any water coming in from the rear slider that I could see, also I don't see any water stains on the headliner. Today is sunny out, I'll see what I can see when I get off work today. One other thought is, I have rusted cab corners and rockers, could this let enough moisture into the cab to cause this?
Thanks.
Rusted surfaces alone won't allow water to enter, unless they're weak or have pinholes.
If you get some nice sunny days with low humidity, put a box fan in the cab on one side with the doors open and leave it all day at full blast. Might help pull some moisture out.
I have taken a look under the dash and water is there all the way into the floor insulation. I believe it's coming in from around the cab light, it's pretty rusted around the front if it.
I wouldn’t discount some water getting in there but sounds more like a windshield leak I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if you were getting water from both places. I had one truck with cab lights, never again. I didn’t have any leaking yet but there were starting to rust along with everywhere else good riddance to that rot box luckily I dump it before it got to bad.

when the weather gets warmer I'll check it with a hose. In the meantime, I can use some silicone around the lights and windshield. Springtime, I'll pull the cab lights sand down the roof line and run a TIG weld to seal up any holes. Probably won't put the lights back on.
Even if you don't have a leak, you can get moisture in your cab through snow on your boots and even just from a big change in the weather. The OP says he hasn't driven it in a while, so that may be it. Any time it's gets truly cold (like -20 or worse) you should do your best to get fresh cold dry air into the truck by leaving a window cracked open as much as you can.
