I suggest removing your cowl take a air hose and with your vents open blow what you can out then try with them closed; that duct continues trough out the bottom of your truck. You'll need to remove the fender to do a better job. Do both sides and if air doesn't do it try it with your water hose, rain goes down it all the time.
I installed a screen under my cowling to try to keep the majority of those leaves out.
yeah the PO installed a similar screen, and I keep my car in the garage so I rarely have leaves get down in there. But there is still some farther than what I can see. I guess I just have to start taking it apart a little to get to the leaves...
