AC Draining - Where?

OK. If my AC were draining properly, where would I see the drain puddle?
I just ran the AC at 60 for about 10 minutes, and nothing!???
Thanks,
Steve

you should see a puddle under the truck on the ground. the drain drains threw the firewall and comes out near the middle of the truck but closer to the pass side.

The drain should be on the passenger side of the firewall a little ways below the heater/ac housing level. It is a rubber tube. it should make a puddle of clean water under the vehicle near the rear of the right front tire, just to the inside of the tire. the puddle will only form after the vehicle has been shut off for a few minutes. Dan.

98Green is correct the other guy down below is misguiding ya, the a/c drains while driving as well and at idle, not just after you shut off the engine.
