First thing you need to do is find where the water is coming from - a likely culprit would be a plugged AC drain; but could be a leaky windshield or door, or a bad heater core...
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

The puddle will return when you use your AC; unless you clean out the drain...

I have suffered from this problem since I got my truck and thought I discovered the source of the leak several times and each time, the water returned.
I think, once again, I have found AND cured my problem...thanks to some crack-addict-rock-monster who used to live in my neighborhood. He's locked up now for a 4 year stint.
I came out one day and found the drivers side of my read slider window shattered and the rear slider cracked open. That must have been when he set off my truck alarm...the one I had installed after he (I assume him) broke in last time and stole my $400 Eclipse CD Player.
Anyway, I had the read slider removed and a new one installed and guess what, its rained numerous times since then and I have yet to see any water in my floorboards. This guy really GOOPED that window sealer on and he damn sure got a good seal with it.
I hope this helps someone else since I have seen the rear window listed as other people's suggestions of it being where the water was coming from.

It's usually the stock drain, not even clogged, on a stock Gen 3 A/c unit. It runs around the little nipple sticking out og the firewall, rigth back into the cab.
There are TSB's and fixes.
