 Subject: Strange H2O sound
IP: Logged
Message:
I hear a strange water flowing kinda sound inside my truck. It's a peaceful ZEN like sound under the right side of the dash. Does anyone have a clue what it is. It may sound peaceful but I'm sure that it is not. A/C condinsation, is there some kind of drain that clogs?

Yep, sounds like clogged A/C drain. Look underhood on firewall for rubber hose that turns downward. Squeeze it or pull it off and flush it, it's held on with a spring clamp that you can remove and install by hand.

The sound u may be hearing is the heater core draining back into the engine when u shut it down or it is filling up when starting it up.
If ur not leaking anything it may be just air in the heater core usually fixed by running the heater on high for a bit.

I have a 1997 with the same trickeling sound. I noticed that it happens when i take off from a dead stop. I also discovered if I put it in neutral and rev the motor it happens too.
Where is Larry? He knows alot!

behind the glove box is where the heater core and AC evaporator coil are... If the floor gets wet after running the AC, it's probably the AC water drain hose. If the floor is dry, then it's most likely air in the coolant system and bubbling through the heater core.
I have heard that if there is too much air in the system, engines can overheat because coolant doesn't flow properly.

I agree with Bob Lincoln. Those things can get dirty or sticky and hold back water that you can hear when you make a hard turn. When you find it, squeeze it or roll it between your finger and thumb until it bleeds out. Relf.
