bezjeep Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Trying to figure out why I'm getting water on the passenger side floor board. I thought it could be a leak from the cowl section but it has rained in a little while and I just put the hose on it to see. Not much different. When I push on the plastic seen in pictures, more water will come out. I don't even know what that thing is. Any insight? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 There is an AC vent hose that goes through the firewall. If it’s missing the rubber downspout it will leak back into the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bezjeep Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks like the rubber elbow is connected but I do see plenty of moisture and can even see it in the fender well area seeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Most of the time the tip of the hose facing down is stuck closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I think I used 3/4" heater hose from the parts store. Slid right on but not loose, hasn't budged in over a year. @$2/ft at the parts stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 The replacement tube is only $3.25 and is properly molded already to fit around the frame rail and the ac housing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I knew it....LOL. Usually all a guy has to do is pinch the snake's mouth from each side and keep his face out of the way. All sorts of crap comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of junk in there. I'm guessing coat hangar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Or just pull it off and clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezjeep Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 I got the rubber hose cleaned and it's in good shape. I'm talking about the 1" plastic nub coming out. Can I detach from the inside? I'm thinking shopvac might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It doesn't detach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJeff Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 19 hours ago, cruiser54 said: It doesn't detach. Cruiser is correct. You might be able to snake a small piece of coat-hanger wire into the nipple on the heater box and loosen any crap that is plugging it up. Then maybe a vacuum with a crevice tool might be able to suck the stuff out the hole. The next level of attack to clean out the drain hole is a huge pain.....remove the heater box, disassemble, clean, reassemble, and reinstall.
