Do you guys with cabs have a problem with moisture coming out of the vents.
Today while working, i was running the air and out of the left vents, i had a small stream of water runnning out.

Im not sure, but in my dads backhoe water drips out of the vent above your head. Its not steady, but you can feel it hit your head or neck.

Was it raining?:wink2
Just kidding
I've never had a CTL with A/C so I'm not even sure where the (evaporator?) coils are, like overhead or somewhere else on the cab. It was just the "Captain Obvious" in me coming out that thought A/C + water drip = drain line isn't draining. Could it have been kinked all along and only overflowed after the humidity went so high lately?

My two cents....On the AC that I had if you had the temperature control on full (coolest) and the fan on low it would freeze up causing water to come out the vents.
When I had the fan on low I could only have the temperature control at 3/4 max. Once I turned the fan on the higher setting I could have the temp control on full.
