Fluid on floorboard?
Ok fellas, 1st post here. I just bought a 2002 F150 6 cyl. with 31,000 miles on it. It's a longbed with a topper and I got it for under 10K. Not a bad deal I'm thinkin.
It was in the 90's here today and pretty humid. I ran the air on the way home from work, (about 40 miles) and when I got home I noticed fluid on the passenger side floor. I couldn't tell if it was antifreeze or water from condensation. I'm headed out to run it some more and do a more thorough investigation. Has anybody run into this before?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin in Central Illinois

Thanks for the speedy reply John. I'm sure you're right. I have no carpet and can see the water dripping onto the floor. If anybody knows where I can locate a reference to the service bulletin on the web I'd appreciate it. I'm going to start searching now. It would be nice to have something in print to bring into the dealer when I go.
Thanks,
Kevin
P.S. John, prayers to your family.

Well I cant find it in TSBs, so it must just be a service message. I need a VIN for that. When I find it Ill post it, but it may be tomorrow when I am able to get to the work computers.
