Leak

[TORQUE THIS]

Everytime it rains lately, the drives side floor gets soaked. The headliner and everything else along the dash is dry. I can see water drops around the e-brake pedal. Any ideas on where it's coming in?

[PRattenbury]

Cab lights? Door seal? Back glass? Cowl drain plugged up with leaves and crap?

[Jim]

Add to that 3rd brake light and windshield, if it there it can leak! Id suspect cab lighs based on the water near the brake pedal tho....

[TORQUE THIS]

Wouldn't the head liner be wet?

[Jim]

not all the time. there are braces in the roof structure the water can follow..

[TORQUE THIS]

:idea: Maybe time for clear cab lights...:exactly:

[Jim]

them are pimp.

Say umm Mark have ya checked the drivers side windshield belt moulding? It can leak at the a-pillar and travel down the forward cab wall.

[PRattenbury]

Hmm. I believe Tool Man has an opinion. TMTT

[TORQUE THIS]

I am going to get the windshield replaced next week. I'm gonna start there I guess.

[PToombs]

Hmm. I believe Tool Man has an opinion. TMTT

No, I think he was just venting. If the Moderator had an opinion, I'm sure he would :whack: you with it!

[PToombs]

I'd check the cowl vent, my 1st gen leaks like a sieve thru there. If it's got crap in it, the water will go right in.

that pink...or "plum" is pretty :ptown:

[dieselnomad]

Pete, the only way I'll beat these guys is by raming them into a river or gully or something. I'm beat on speed... But, on low-end torque, now we have a challenge, and with low end 5-speed grunt, no one but the darest come near thee.. but wait, my truck is so noicccccccccce, i won't ram anyone! :falldownlaugh:

Arthr, ya gotta do what ya gotta do! :nutkick: :falldownlaugh:


Psst! I think Sooter is turnin' gay on us! :ptown: :omg:

[dieselnomad]

And, well, I may be concidered to own an under-valved truck, it does stay dry in the cab... LOL.

And, come to mention it, the undervalved truck seems to be rising in value, I had a dude offer me 15K on the spot today while filling up off of 290 in MA. I summarily told him to GFY.. :nutkick:

[PRattenbury]

He prolly thought it was a 24 valve. :smokin:

[TORQUE THIS]

Found the leak. The windshield gasket up top (exterior) right in the middle, there is a good size gap.

Getting new glass this week anyway...

[Jim]

good for you man thats an odd place to spring a leak eh?

[TORQUE THIS]

Yeah, thinking about it more, it happens more often at work. The angle of the lot would make the water run down to the a pillar and then down inside.

I just ran water over it a little while ago and no water intrusion. Parked out on the street with the passanger side up on the curb and ran the water. Wet spot on the floor appeared.

[Jim]

Hmm. Sounds like your truck suffers from "Articulaphobia" AKA Fear of articulation. Goes on a little angle it wets itself. Scardey cat 2wd's:Paully6:

AS LONG AS YOU KEEP HER HAPPY ...PANTY PUDDLES ARE OK :exactly:http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/7280/93cpeelout1zg1.gif

[PRattenbury]

Hmm. Guess I shoulda read here first. Glad to hear the leak got identified. Must be a 24-valve VP-powered thing with articulation. If you park yours at an angle, it leaks water. If Toolman parks his at an angle, it won't start. :wtf2:

[TORQUE THIS]

Yes, but I have a Webasto!

[PRattenbury]

Okay, I'm jealous. I wish I had a Webasto.

[PToombs]

I tried a Webasto, the wife didn't like it. :nono: :TqT:
