With my new WAR ON LEAKS-n-SQUEAKS... I've come up with a new problem...

On my driver's side of the cab, my truck leaks water.

I've noticed wet carpet there after a hard rain yesterday, but I normally leave the truck covered during rain.

It seems to be leaking down beside the bottom kick panel, and into the little rail/channel that the weatherstripping mounts to down near the sillplate.

This is the only spot on the truck that I found moisture.

I know my cab corners are cracked pretty bad, is this where the water is coming from?

 

Yup. my 350 was really bad.

 

Well, I sure as heck ain't gonna buy the repair kit from Dodge.

Next time I'm back home I'll take the front end off and attack this with my MIG.

 

Remove the kick panel /vent cover. Then pour water in your cowl area and see if its leaking in the vent opening. mine was and several of my earlier trucks have as well. I have just used a good all weather silicone sealer (liberaly) around the opening and replaced the panel

 

TexasHardcore, I feel your pain, the carpet on the drivers side of my truck is soaked. It would be nice if it would stop raining long enough for me to go rip everything apart and seal it.
