Tonight I was taking the garbage out when I noticed that there was a puddle under the truck just inside the right front tire. When I smelled it there was no odor and the color seemed rather clear except for some grime residue that it had collected from hitting the steering axle as it was falling. Basically it looked like water. No green or antifreeze, just plain water. Could that just be water from runnig the AC and if so is this normal, because Ive never noticed this before

Thats where the ac drain is on my friends 95 ctd so i am going to say thats probably what it is

Yep, that sounds like the condensate drain for the evaporator. Perfectly normal to see that. Beware though if that drain gets plugged the condensate water will collect inside your evaporator/heater core box and eventually build up enough to leak out of the floor vent on the passenger side. That will seep into the carpet, smell funny and possibly mold/mildew. Just something to be wary of.

Then the woman says "Your truck is leaking". You say, "That's the A/C". She says "You better check it".
And that goes on every other day.

well I figured it was water but it was getting kinda dark and I couldnt see it all that well. When I went out to go to work the next day the ground was completely dry with no stain so I knew it was water because oil or coolant wouldve stained or had still been there
