Default AC Condesation

I have an 04 Dodge Dakota SLT Quat Cab. It is the 4.7 V8 4x4. My AC condensates and the water leaks onto the floor pan. In the summer you can see it drip underneath. My carpet gets wet. I live in VA so not running the AC in the summer is not an option. I have taken it to the local mechanic. They said there really isn’t anything the can do with out replacing the whole AC condenser unit. Any hints or tips to help me resolve this issue?

Try cleaning the AC drain hose. Stick something through it to clear it.

Look in the engine bay at the firewall for the drain if you don't see a little rubber elbow that could be the problem if thats missing the water dripping gets sucked into the cab by either water suction or air pressure.

Very common

Look these vid's over

Yours being an 04 not sure this will fix your problem or not but it worth a try.
My 96 Ram 1500 did the same thing and I got a piece of hose about 2 foot long
and a clamp and extended the the condensate outlet on the outside of the
firewall, I also used some silicone and sealed around where the outlet
exits thru the firewall.
