Water Buddies:
The cab is getting wet on the driver's side floor mostly(by gas and brake
pedal). At first I thought that it was coming from the floor. Then I
basically tore the entire truck's guts out inspecting every feature where
water could possibly enter the vehicle. There are 4 thru bolt holes and a
hole for the e-brake cable to exit the cab. I then took a silicone and made
sure to plug the holes up when re-assembling the cab. Then the rain came
and the pool of water was back. But this time it seemed to pool behind the
drivers seat. Are their any thru holes that attach the back seat to the
floor? That is one are that I didn't investigate.

Reuben,
Hello there fellow GD'er! Sounds like the water is being forced in from the
air pressure developed at highway speed. What is getting wet and where?

Dakota Club:
Has anybody had any problems with water leaking into their Dakota? I have a
97 SLT 4x4 5.2L and water is leaking into my cab when it rains very hard
outside. The water doesn't leak into it until the vehicle is in motion.
Say on the Freeway. I am desperate. All of the obvious places have been
checked, but with no avail. If anybody has any advice please let me know.
