Justin Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hey alright! I'm on my 2nd 620 but both the 620's I've owned would get puddles on the floor when it rained... My first 620 did not have carpet, my 2nd had carpet until the day it started raining and my buddy informed me that the carpet was "freaking soaking wet", at which point we promptly pulled it and tossed it in the bed! So, my question is, what are the common "leak area's" on these trucks? I'm wondering if maybe there's a rubber something-or-other that rots out underneath the cowl vent that leads to the soaking wet floor...? Or....? I know a lot of you guys run carpet and I would love to do that but not if it means rusting my floor out! :w00t: Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Place a water hose on top of cab and find the leak. 1 Quote Link to comment
Justin Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hahaha, man, I was hoping for an "easy answer", not more "dat-rodding", Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 That is as easy as it comes. Should take you a minute or so. Spoon-fed answers lead to poor diagnosis mostly. Do work. 1 Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Drive it into a pool, and stay inside, best way to see where the water comes in. 2 Quote Link to comment
Justin Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 No pool, the density of the water should be comparable at a lake or sewage treatment center though, right? Or will that water be too "thick"...? (mmmm... I like my water like I like my women, transparent and runny!) Quote Link to comment
hawaii_620 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have holes in both my A Pillars, one from the antenna (it's now removed), and the other from.. I don't know what was ever there. But that is where I have leaks. The water runs in and drops down from behind the kick panels. I also have water coming in from my back window, but that's because my window rubber is cracked and falling apart. You might want to take off your cowl panel and clear out any debris that might be in there. If it's really clogged with leaves and debris, the water can collect and get high enough to drip from your vent tubes. 1 Quote Link to comment
