The boys at the dealership said that the console is attached to the body of the truck and there’s a drain (plug?) in front of it under the truck and that might be clogged. They said where they would start (for $125) is have a water hose running on top of the truck and see where the water goes. Which that makes about as much sense as the problem does.

Fortunately this problem only occurs when there is a monsoon ... in central okc....

Yes that’s a part of the main concern.

Maybe I’ll just sell it and get a new Ram

My last truck I dang near drove the tires off of it. I bought this with the intentions keeping it for several years, plus I got a killer deal on this truck

Ma’am not man, and it doesn’t have one, tho I wish it did. And yes, that would be the first place to look at.
I feel for ya, I just had to be the wise ass that said it! Good luck in getting it taken care of.

Wouldn’t this be covered under your factory warranty?

I bought it used, I was at the dealership because there was a recall on the truck.

If your under 36000 miles, you still have bumper to bumper coverage.

That’s very odd. Can anyone here confirm if there is a drain as described?
