I have a 2017 dodge ram 1500 5.7. When i pull of, i hear water rustling near the glove box. I topped off antifreeze. Cleared out hvac drain. (It was dry after i ran the ac). Checked for leaks around water pump. Floor is not wet and no obvious signs of leakage. Any thoughts?

The coils in your heater core are contracting or expanding (depending on what you were running) and/or condensing the moisture in the air. Kind of how a in-window air conditioner sounds when you turn it off?

Thanks for responding. So that expansion will sound like water running behind the dash. Sounds more like water than air.

You have air in your heater core if you coolant went low you need to re burp the system/heater core.

Seems like the heat will fluctuate from warm to cold.
