scottwetzel Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 As the topic states I finally got my ac working in my superliner (yes I use ac everyday I live in Florida) and it always leaks under the ac box in the truck. I use a towel to soak up the water. Is there any remedy to this problem?

theakerstwo Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I though all of them did.I just put a bread pan under mine.If you tear it down you can install installation tape around the pan and help.

jakebrake86 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 As simple as it sounds, do you have a piece of hose on the drain sticking through the firewall? I didn't for a while and had the same problem.

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I had that happen on mine. Blowing back may work but if it blocks again, you'll have to clean the drain pan under the cores. If there is a lot of dirt in it, it will block back up again. Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 It's been a while since I did it, I think the cores have to be removed with it. But that does make it easier to clean everything. Over time from condensation, dust gathers in the fins and air flow is decreased. Then it finds it way into the drip pan and sometimes blocks the drain.
