i was having an a/c problem, my a/c was not draining and i had a funky smell goin on for the first 10 minutes when ever i used my fan or a/c. well after reading numerous posts on the problem on this site i figured i would try and unclog it myself. i read that it was hard to locate and get to, but i found and fixed it, so here is what to look for and what to use for anyone having the same problem. lay under the passenger side of you dak right below the motor and look up where your muffler connects to the engine ( manifold i guess) you will see the heat sheild and if you look good with a flashlight you will find a black 5/8 in dia hose sticking out facing the front of the truck. it will only be sticking out about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch. now that you found it get a 2 foot piece of telephone wire (rigid but still flexible enough to make the turns) and wedge your hand up in there, i was able to touch the end of the hose and feed it in. it should go in about a foot or so and you are done, no need to take it in to the dealer. hope it works for you
