Are you saying it's leaking on the back side of the cab?

[drumzz]

thanks, i ll check that out!! i guess it is just oozing thru the carpet huh??

[drumzz]

its wet right about where the seat slider handle is..between that handle and the door.. aand like i said its only rained once since i bought the truck.. the windows are never left down, it doesnt appear to coming from the front or rear of the cab?? its really weird

At night i would have someone shine a light from outside to see if i could see light coming inside. Would also check the windshield gasket and wiper arm gasket good to be sure there not leaking.

Mine was leaking in where the wiper motor/arm penetrated the firewall. Gasket was deteriorated. Doesn't sound like that's where you are getting the leak though. Sounds like it may be running down the door gaskets and then leaching in through the carpet under or over the sill plate?

...maybe the driver sprung a leak. Just sayin'.

Gasket around the filler neck. Tracking down the filler neck / down the back of the tank / onto the floor area.
Look for a wet or rust (just starting). Better find it quick or the wet carpet will have you rreplacing the floor boards.

Mine is getting wet on drivers side in front of the seat right next to the door. Found out it is my windshield gasket (way gone) and it is running beside the dash and collecting in above mentioned spot. Sounds like its time to get the water hose out.

Any easy way to check the gas filler gasket is to put some dish soap around it and hit it with some compressed air from the inside of the cab. (lightly) and see if it bubbles. Another spot to check is the air intake vent on the kick panel. I had mine leak there a while ago. If you can remove the carpet or floor pad it will be a lot easier to find the leak.
