Strange leak help please-

I have a 2006 2500. I noticed a substantial dripping coming from the front passenger side just beneath the battery box running down the front side of the plastic fenderwell. It looks to be clear fluid... no color. Could it be A/C related or something else? Thanks for any input-

the drain for the heater box is there. If you run the defrost it will cycle the a/c compressor to dry the air. you can crawl under the truck and check the drain tube that is against the firewall. See if it is draining from there, if so, normal operation

Wow... never would have guessed that. It's exactly as you said. I just bought this truck last week and am still getting to know it... a LOT different than my '96 was. Thanks very much for the response-

pc, same puddles from my 05 and after 100k miles no issues (knock on wood) pertaining to the condensate collecting under my truck. I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed in your choice to get a CTD Ram!!!!
