Default Bed Drain Holes?
The bed on my newly aquired dakota likes to hold water after it rains and wont drain. Anyone know off hand where the drain holes are?

Should be 2 at the front of the box I think along the seam between the floor and front bed wall. However mine does this too. Just drive and it comes right out the tailgate gap.

Thanks, I figured they were along the seem somewhere. And the tailgate gap trick doesnt work, there is no gap, it wont drain till i open the tailgate.
