2002 dodge ram when I drive move the truck sounds like water running in the dash on the passenger side of the truck..i took a blower and blow air in the ac hole that drips the water out I thought it may be blocked ..but I got nothing out of it and the water is still in the dash area somewhere..anybody have any ideas where and how to get it out it drives me crazy everytime the truck moves you hear it running around in the dash ..

Are you sure its not the water "IN" the heater core? My dads truck does this. Like it has a little air in the system when you first start it.

radiator is full I thought that myself...sounds like it runs from about middle way of the truck to the door on passenger side..heat works great...ac went out about 3 weeks ago some how..driving down the road and just stop cooling put Freon in it and still nothing compressor sounds like its knocking ..but I don't think that has anything to do with the water sound as its been doing it a little longer then the ac going out...

If you aren't getting water leaking on the floor, just hearing it slosh, check the cowl drains.



It takes gasoline to interest me.

My 2001 had the same thing, it was a bad heater core that leaked into the HVAC system and sloshed around. You only have to take the entire dash out to replace the heater core, DAMHIK!


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

No water ever leaked anywhere, but I heard the sloshing for over a year, then the heat would not work that winter. The A/C was still functioning though.

test your radiator cap..... seen this a ton over the years. If it tests bad, replace it. It will take some time to work the air out. Luckily we have a driveway about a block from work that has to be at least a 10% grade. We'll run them at 2500 rpm with the nose in the air for 5 minutes or so. Works the air out pretty quick. Also make sure the overflow hose is secure at the nipple on the radiator. Old age made them start leaking air into the system from a loose fitting hose.

Neither is the problem! I have the same issue since doing my intake pan, It only has air in it. My truck didn't do it until I done the intake. Now it does. I need to get the air out as well. And I haven't lost a drop of coolant so I know it's not leaking.

Well mine isn't leaking and it makes the same sound. Didn't make that sound until I fixed the intake gasket,

explain how you can get water sloshing under your dash from an intake gasket? and mine is a diesel. there is nothing in there but the heater core and A/C evaporator.

Owned my truck from day 1 and it never made this sloshing noise until I changed the coolant. Despite attempts at bleeding out the air, could never fully resolve.
Then I got a vacuum filler for coolant and now, no more noise.
Got this tool http://www.uview.com/index.cfm?DSP=Produ...ng&id=45700
Very slick and makes refill very easy. A must on most modern engines that have miles of coolant passages or Benz products with 2 heater cores, where air can get trapped.

I have something similar to that but mine locks on like a radiator cap. I didn't use mine when I done my intake, but I have to change my thermostat now so I will to make sure all the air is out.

Well, changed my t-stat today. Used my vacuum tool to pump down the coolant system. Guess what? Sloshing in the dash is GONE!
