Hey guys,
When I'm running my a/c the water condensation coming off the a/c is like some one turned on a tap, I know its normal to produce condensation but is it normal to produce a lot of condensation? Or could this be the start of a bigger problem?
Thanks for the help

Nothing to worry about. My 03 is a gusher on really humid days, and many others have reported the same.:yes:

The time to worry is when it DOESN'T gush - then suspect a clogged (insect, debris, mold, not plugged in all the way) drain tube on the firewall near the AC dryer/receiver.

Mine tends to pee all over the ground.

What they ^ said. A small child could swim in my garage on real hot days after I pull in. Freaked me out the first summer I had the thing. Now what I usually do is turn the compressor (snowflake button) off a few blocks from home and let it run out before I get home. Somewhat of a chore, but it beats squeegee-ing out the floor.

I was only joking about the squeegee thing. I don't really do that.

I do turn off ac a few blocks away though to eliminate most/lots of the water.

Had to yank your chain on that one :rotfl:

I hate how wet my garage gets when it rains.

Re:the AC... I have realized the more water that drips/gushes, the colder she blows!

I have always liked how she blows cold... :undecided:

But really -I've had the TB since 2004 and never had to service the A/C unit. Its like night and day between it and my woman's Montero Sport. Like a furnace in there even on the coldest setting.
