You probably have a leak in your heater core which is located
on the passengers side of your truck behind the firewall
you could try some a rad repair solution if its not a big leak but it will only get worse ..
Its not a fun job to replace it but you might have too ... you can't run your vehicle with out coolant .. another thing is that coolant will prematurely rust out your floor boards because it can be corrosive .. so I would lift up your carpet and deal with that issue too Watch your pets too .. for some reason they are attracted to anti freeze and it will kill them in a few hours if consumed ...
good luck

I have a 1993 Suburban with the same setup. That big black thing on the passenger side is the heater block. It basically heats the interior of the vehicle. You need to get that fixed immediately if it is leaking. I asked my mechanic what that thing is and why does it sound like their is water in there, so that you know my source

likely you've a clogged heater center, in a lot of circumstances brought about by technique of a lack of suitable maintainence over the life of the engine, as in having the coolant replaced periodically. it really is totally person-pleasant, yet needs to get fixed straight away, lest you eventually end up with ruined carpet, and an truly stinky interior. you'll also be having no warmth popping out of the heater in a little while, in case you have not said this already.

Your engine heater coil that is used to heat the passenger compartment is leaking. It needs to be replaced. If you don't replace it soon, you will cause serious heat damage to the truck's engine. Which can cost up to $3,000.00 to re-build the engine if you're lucky. A new heater coil will only cost you about 20-60 bucks along with some new hoses for the engine to heater coil replacement.

you blew out your heater core. so if you want your heating system and coolant system to work you need to get it replaced.
