1997 Ford F150 fogging up windows

Thank you for providing a lot of great observations. Unfortunately that makes the diagnosis fairly easy. The heater core in the dash is leaking. Your truck has air conditioning. There is a drip pan under part of the system in the dash to collect condensation when the air conditioning is running. That drip pan is collecting the leaking coolant. The drain tube for the condensation, (and coolant) exits just to the left of the right front tire. That's why you're seeing the puddle on the ground.

Thanks for the info. Will it hurt my truck to drive it until I get it repaired? Does that mean that i need a new heater core? Again thanks

The heater core will need to be replaced. Normally the air conditioning system will need to be discharged so the heater box can be removed from the truck. There are some Dodge trucks that have heater boxes that can be partially split in the front and the heater core snuck out that way. Don't know if that applies to your truck.

The problem with driving this way is the irritation of an oily film settling on the windshield and the potential for engine overheating. Keep an eye on the coolant level in the radiator and reservoir. In cooler weather, you might get away with leaving the radiator cap loose to prevent it from building pressure. As a last resort, you can remove the two heater hoses from the heater core pipes at the firewall and connect them together with a plastic splice connector and two hose clamps. That will bypass the leaking heater core. The leak will be gone, but you won't get warm air from the heater.
