So my A/C is running great but the drain must be plugged as my passenger side floor gets soaked anytime I use the A/C.

I have Googled and searched all over the vehicle and cannot find it.

I have found the rear and blew that out but have yet to find the front one.

Looking for someone who can tell me exactly where it is or direct me to a photo that explicitly shows the location of it.

Thank you!

crawl under the truck and look by transmission/engine and see if you can see a rubber hose, run a wire through it and twirl it around it won't hit anything and have atowel ready for a bath. it may be by firewall so just look you'll see it the hose may look like it's crimped together.

I was working on a picture while Hmac300 answered so I might as well give it to you anyway. Maybe it will help

I finally found it but only after doing a brake job.

If you pull the front passenger tire off, pull back the wheel well plastic towards the fire wall and then pull forward the heat shield by the exhaust manifold you can then see it.

I'm sure now that I know where it is I could find it from underneath.

Something so simple was a P.I.T.A.
