To much moisture dripping from the evaporator drain tube, drips on the manifold cover and leaves a bad rust scale smell in the cabin. Changed the thermostat and not sure if I should tear the heater core out or if I need to, help w/ problem , thx mjz

 

so lengthen the tube and re-route the opening away from the manifold cover



on a side note why did you change the thermostat and why do you want to tear into the heater core??????

 

It drip's from the firewall,I thought the thermostat might be causing overheating, the drip is from that part of the firewall.

 

Why did you post again? I posted a comment in your thread in General Discussion about the SAME THING 4 days ago - saying essentially the same thing tara did - relocate the tube.

Dripping from that tube is *NORMAL* - that's what the tube is for! Air conditioning removes HUMIDITY...........that's how it works!

 

sorry didn't see it , you can't relocate it, it's from the firewall,right it never had that much condensation from it, just recently started constant dripping even when the engine was shut off, barly get my hand up behind the starter to feel it, can see it and there's just a 1/4 inch of what look's like a grommet or rubber lip there, I'm not sure you can relocate it ,thx mjz

 

GLC, guess I should have checked his thread history before I posted, these people need to follow up on the threads they start


hopefuly the mods can merge the threads

 

Is it dripping reasonably clear water or coolant?

The tube may be partially blocked with crud causing a very slow drain - run a wire up the tube and try to ream it out.

 

the darn thing leak's even when the truck is shut off, never did that before, I can tell it's just moiture also not coolant
