I had a similar porblem, turned out to be a poorly sealed
winshield. If the water seems to be coming in from the passenger side
front corrner of the cab and you want to try to find it yourself,
you'll need to:
1. Pull the trim off the A pillar and the passenger floorboard
2. Have someone hose down the truck while you are inside
3. Look for water to come pouring out of the passenger front corner of
the headliner.
If this happens, it's the upper seal on the windshield. Dealer had a
glass shop caulk the top edge of the widnshield (bending the headliner
in the process) and it hasn't leaked since. I bitched about the
headliner getting bent and the carpet being moldy and they replaced
the carpet for free but said they couldn't really do anything about
the headliner, the glass shop said it was like that when they got it.
BS. I rubbed the headliner a bunch with a diaper cloth and you can't
even see the crease anymore.
