I know this is a ford site. I am a faithful owner of them. However, My wife drives a 2000 Suburban, which is why I am writing this. I recently discovered a problem with wet carpet in the middle seating area on the passenger side of the truck. After several trips through the web trying to discover the cause, I decided to remove the interior from the middle section to the rear out. This included the seats, carpet and padding. Know what I found? when I started the truck and inspected the rear a/c, I noticed bubbling around the bottom rear portion of the unit. I figured there was water in the system and commenced looking for the condensate drain, which I found under the vehicle above the exhaust outlet. It was clogged with dirt. After cleaning it off and pinching it open, I was promply drenched with what was probably about 2 cups of water. The web sites I visited all seemed to point to the front of the truck and removing the dash and the grill below the windshield. I would hope this will help any of you out there who owns this model truck. You have to keep this drain clean. I wish I had found this sooner. It is a pain to remove all the interference to dry all that carpeting and padding. The smell isn't nice either as the water apparently had been there awhile.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.
