Uh Oh! Need Insight

While heading home tonight, in an unfamiliar area, I hit a really bad dip in the road. Sounded like the front dif struck the pavement pretty hard. Strange thing is that when I got back and took a look all was well except I noticed a pretty solid trickle of water pooling under the truck. My inspection lends me to believe that this is only condensation from the A/C condenser (it's pretty humid here in San Angelo) but my gut feeling says otherwise. It's dripping on the right side leaf spring and quickly pooling around the passenger side tire, but, I've never noticed it in this great a quantity before.

I am getting ready to head back home to Tucson tomorrow and my gut feeling is that I may have a larger issue on my hands or am I just being paranoid?

Sounds like the AC drain to me. You can get quite a buildup of ice if you're driving for awhile with the AC on. Was there any color to the water?

Try this one,
My wife likes to roll down the windows just to hear the turbo blowing off pressure!

Came up behind her once in traffic when she had my truck. She was setting the flip chip up to extreme and smoking all the bicyclist that weren't staying inside their bike lane! She keeps saying she wants to give up her Jag and get an exact copy of my F-350! I keep trying to give her mine and move up to an F-550 but then she wants a 550 as well. I'm screwed!

Damn, I posted back onto the wrong thread! Sorry.

I was only running for about 45 minutes, Water was clear and tastless (except for some dirt flavoring) The pool was about 2 1/2 feet in diameter within a couple of minutes.
