Cowl Drain Locations

[ro23j]

I am trying to locate and clean the cowl drains on my 2006 Quad Cab. I park near pine trees and suspect the drains may need cleaned. Any help locating the drain exit points would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

it drains below the hood hinges into the fender.

They are a slot on the outside of the cowl panel. It has been a while but I think you have to remove the plastic cowl grille to get to them. Some had a rubber flapper covering them up.

You would also have to check the fenders down near the rocker panels (may have to actually unbolt) as that is a great breeding ground for collecting leaves, pine needles etc. and causing rust issues.
