1st problem with the ty

[pontiacws699]

Well, I believe I have my 1st issue with the ty. I noticed when I park it after driving for a while when i get out I can smell antifreeze. I opened the hood to see if I could find any leaking and I douldnt see any. It doesnt look like any is dripping on the ground either. I was driving today to drop the kids off and when I got to a red light with the heater on I could smell it in the truck)first time for that) Any suggestions or ideas? Ill have to do a more detailed inspec cause when I checked the last time it was just a once over.

Sounds like the heater core. Its buried in the dash above the passenger's feet. Check the carpet and padding there.. See if they are moist and smell like antifreeze...

ditto on heater core, went thru a few of them myself not hard to change. Tricky part is getting the carpet clean and dry. Make sure you dry all the padding on the underside of the carpet.

When you change it out or get it changed out make sure you re use the bracket that holds the tubes on the engine firewall side or you will be in there sooner than you want to doing it again because one of the tubes broke or cracked.
