Yeah. More problems. I cant have a cab that doesn't leak, can I?

/rant Went into the Ranger today to go to inspection. Turn on truck. Rear usb isn't working. Hm. Pop open glove box and it is full of water. i-pod submerged over night (in rice still) and my insurance and registration are soaked. I got pissed and put a nice dent on the cowl. Now I am mad about that. /endrant

Good news is it did pass with 15w40 and 1k rpms. Bad news is that I still have to rebuild the motor this winter. Leaking oil into cylinder 5 or 6.

Question below

Now, onto my real question. What do you think is leaking to let water into the cab then the glove box?

My first thought is the windshield and around that area. The other thought is heater core, but I thought the heater core was a little too much to the left. Remove everything from glovebox and hit that side with water again to trace the leak?

I had a water leak in the cab.....windshield....but the leak was on the other end of the windshield...the stupid water was traveling across under the bad seal & THEN dripping......:annoyed:

My guess is the windshield seal leaks like mine does. My old 89 leaked also. Must be a typical thing with older rangers.
