Put twists on safety wire about 4 feet long. Using an electric drill run the safety wire down in both forward tubes. Then pour a cup of water into each tube at front corners of sunroof to make sure obstructions are clear. You will see water come out by each front tire.

The drain hoses typically run from the 4 corners of the pan around the sunroof. Usually the blockage is from the top side, so open the sunroof and clean from there. Some applications require that you drop the ceiling material for access.

08GMC Acadia leaking water on the floor when ac is on. We took the car into the dealership & they cleaned out drain lines to make sure there is no clog. Still is happening. Any other reason for this?

The AC box that contains the Evaporator core is not sealed properly, or the drain is clogged again. Check the drain again, it exits under the car on passenger side base of engine bulkhead.

My 2009 gmc Acadia fan was running a lot more lately after shut off and then last night it said shut car off and when restarted was in reduced power mode when I checked coolant it was almost non existent...

A very common issue on the 3.6 liter V6 engine in the acadia is a leaky water pump. The pump starts leaking, causing a low coolant level, causing the engine to go into reduced engine power mode to keep the engine from overheating. This usually results in a very extensive cylinder head gasket repair job. You should have a local shop perform a cooling system leak check to find the leak for sure, and an engine block check to see if the overheat condition caused internal engine damage.

2008 GMC Acadia has water leaking into floorboards from air conditioner. How do I find the drain?

{: ) The drain hose is just near to the right of the gas pedal, but is being covered by the center floor console. You need to remove only the side trim panel, which is supported by 3 clips from inside.
To give you an idea how to remove that side panel, first move the driver seat maximum rearward. Remove all the extra floor mattings on that area. About 1 foot away from the pedal. grasp the lower edge of the trim panel and pull. You may hear or feel the first clip snap out. These clips are normally seated about 3/4 inch depth.
Next, move another foot away and position your hands again to snap out the second clip. The third clip is alittle above it. At this point, you may be seeing some clearance at the upper edges of the panel. Work your way from there. You can apply some flexing maneuvers.
When you're successful, you can then proceed with pulling and cleaning of the drain hose. Check also if the drain pipe from the HVAC housing is clogged.
A clogged a/c drain system will not only wet your floor, but it can also damage your blower motor, leaving it stucked or noisy.

2008 acadia coolant gets away slowley

Well someone has to figure out by looking at the car whether this is a slow leak to the outside or a much worse slow leak into the lubrication or combustion areas of the engine. Coolant is very bad for internal hard surfaces so get it done ASAP.
