AC drain line fix

[Jhollowell]

it should be 7/8 ID. I took my inner fender liner out and was able to get halfway decent access, but still a pain in the ***. if you push the wire bundle up you can pop it out of its clip on the engine. then pull it down and out of the way.

Reviving an old thread. I just picked up a second Gen 1 (2014 with Whipple) and noticed the carpet was wet.
Turns out the AC condensation drain was plugged!!
12 hours of driving with AC on made a pretty wet mess.

Did you do the fix these guys all talked about?! I think mine is experiencing the same issue.

I tried to clear the drain hole with a piece of coat hanger but very little room behind cyl head to get my hand in there..

That's for sure. And it's not like the heater box is easy to just remove, I'm convinced they build the entire truck around that thing.

What did you end up doing to unclog it? I will be tackling this tomorrow and Saturday along with adding Fords little elbow thing.

It's still there! It is just a Lasco plastic fitting, 3/4" FPT x Hose barb (often used on center pivot sprinklers or other sprinkler systems), just shoved on the stub. Here's another shot from passenger side wheelwell:

I had no idea they had an elbow on Gen 2's, just found something that would work...

So you just shoved the barb into the drain?

Yes exactly, press fit was tight enough (surprisingly).

Right on. If my part from Ford doesn’t arrive today I’m gonna try that. Any issues with water under the carpet since you’ve done it?

No not at all!
