Let me be the first to say "Welcome to the TDR". I'd start at the rear cargo light above the back glass. Then if I still had a leak after resealing the light, I'd suspect the back glass. I know, the water can't get from the back of the truck to the front floorboards, but it finds a way.

Good Luck, Ronnie.

I hate water leaks... ... You might check the front where the cowl lower plenum meets the a-pillar (windshield pillar). ther is a T. S. B. on the 99's and 2000's, that address pounding a chisel between the metal there to stop a squeak, and then pack the seam with seam sealer to prevent water leaks. My 2000 still squeaks BAD, but I am afraid to let some flunky at the dealer under the dash with a hammer and chisel. My '96 gasser 2500 always got wet on the drivers side also, but I sold it and that cured the problem from my point of view.

My '95 leaks on both driver and passengers side. Found the problem when it started smelling musky/moldy inside. Pulled up the carpet and the insulation was saturated. traced the leak to a body seam (both driver and passenger side)on the front of the cab / engine cowl area. The only way to get to the problem area is to remove the front fenders. This has been on my to-do-list for awhile. In the mean time I have removed the plastic "kick panels" from inside the cab and have wood 1x2 holding the carpet insulation off the cab floor.
