wet passenger floor
About a month ago I found it soaked under the passenger floor. Iv been watching it ever since and its been dry. Today i find it wet again.. It did rain last night. I read somewhere to check the ac drain. And another drain.
where is the ac drain to check,
Also where is the other drain,
Its an 08 crew cab

From this thread.
I would start by checking that. Another thing you can do with water leaks is pull the carpet back, crouch inside with a flashlight and have someone spray the truck with a hose. If you see water running in trace it back to the source.
the ac condensattion drain has cause that problem, among other things. There is a black hose that sticks out of your firewall, on passenger side about half way down(close to manifold). It is sealed to the firewall with a foam seal that dries out and stops working. The general fix is putting a 90 on it. It happened to 2 of my dodges.

Thanks guys. definitally no antifreeze smell. I read that post but am having trouble visualizing it. Is there a hose running out of the aluminum ac container or elsewhere. Is the hose just a black rubber hose. If I run my ac full for say 20 minutes and check to see if its dripping on the ground would that eliminate the ac. Im kinda flipping that i got a prob im never going to figure out right now.

^^^^ This. Mine leaks too on the passenger side only during a heavy rain. I just had my windshield replaced about a month ago because it was cracked and the technician told me that (I think it's called the A piller? Idk) is notorious for rotting away on dodge trucks under the weather stripping. Maybe check there?

although I never had this problem in my Dak(wet floor), I did have the problem in my '02 Grand Prix. I am not sure if you can solve it the same way on the trucks as I did...
I have to get under the front end and find the condenser drain and put a wet vac to it to suck out any debris or AC snot that sometimes builds up...
As for the A-Pillar issue, I had this problem that got worse since I bought the truck...it was leaking in the driver "Oh Jesus" handles in the upper bolt access flap everytime it rained and would drip down insde the cab. The way I found the leak was to remove the pillar, pop out the drivers sun visor and loosen the headliner an pour water on the windshield...eventually found a small pinhole leak in the gasket for the windshield about 6 inches front he corner of the window..from the outside, i put a good strip of RTV Sealer over top of it and have since had not water issues.
