Default Any quick fix for a blocked A C drain ?.

My front A C drain is blocked, I know this cos I usualy have 2 puddles of water under the truck, one at the front and one at the rear, now I only have a puddle at the rear, and a puddle in the passenger side foot well, not good. So is there an easy fix for this, I did look in the "sticky" about A/C, but wondered if any one could give me some good tips on how to rectify this problem. Thanks muchly, Neil.

Mine is plugged as well. Can you tell me where the drain is located specifically? Thanks!

I have looked all over that side of the firewall. Is it behind what looks like a foil covered heat shield behind that side of the motor? (4.7L) Thanks!

role down the window and pull it all out you save gas gain a few hp. the only thing you have to get over is dealing with is the wife yelling about it being too hot.

You don't really gain many MPGs by rolling down the windows due to the loss of aerodynamics.
