Hi, I'm new to this forum... I got on here to try to find out any info about my problem. My truck is a 1999 Dodge Dakota. In early spring the heater core, water pump, and radiator were all Replaced. Yet I still smell antifreeze Very strongly when the heat is on. both defrost and regular heat. Any opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It may be that there is some antifreeze residue still in the vents. I had a similar problem, and the person I had replace the core washed out the defrost vents, and the smell was gone. I still get faint smells when I send it through the normal vents, but not through any others.
Hope This helps.
