I got my Tahoe a month ago and it seems like a LOT of water leaks out when my AC is on. Is this normal? I haven't noticed any temp problems or anything but I'm just curious if other owners have noticed this as well? Let me know...

On days when the humidity is high, it will throw out more water. This is normal on humid days.

I noticed on my Excursion the other day that I could have hooked a water hose

to the AC dump and washed a car or two with what was coming out.
:insane:

Exactly! Lol I just knew I'd let all of my coolant leak out of something but all of the fluids look fine. Better safe than sorry though.

AUDenali,

The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so a small amount of water might drip underneath the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. As "Sheriff" posted, humidity may cause additional water.

If you are concerned about this issue, consider consulting with a technician for an official diagnosis.
