Like they said, normal. If it quits you have a problem unless it's 0% humidity. Here in ol Fla we have 100% most of the time so it goes a lot. BTW if it quits your drain is plugged an needs to be cleaned.

Like purple says - if it stops is when you have to worry !!!

You cool air by compressing it (I guess that's a good name for the COMPRESSOR :-)
and just like a wet towel when you squeeze it, the water comes out !

I almost had a COW when I went to the middle east and our A/C was just a water cooler ---- all they did was add humidity to the air --- coming from South La... I thought I'd melt, but in the dry air there it actually cooled quite nicely...

Tim, is that what you desert dwellers have ? the Evaporative coolers ?

Not just limited to my F250. My 86 Bronco did the same thing. Look at it this way, if it isn't peeing, it aint working.

If the dripping bugs you.....I find that if you shut off the A/C before you stop the vehicle (approx. a block or a few house lengths away) it keeps if from dripping underneath your truck when you're stopped!! I got into a habit of doing this with my last truck ('99 V10) and there hasn't been a puddle under my truck since!
