A few days ago I smelled antifreeze and saw lots of vapor coming from the vents. I have a hard time believing that the problem is yet another heater core, especially since there is no puddle on the floor. It's easy enough to replace that damn thing but I would really like to find the root cause.
About 18 months ago I replaced the radiator without doing a coolant flush and I wonder if years of crud is plugging these heater cores or...?
truck has about 210,000 mi on it now, runs like a champ otherwise. radiator swap was probably about 192,000 mi.
A coworker said that the radiator cap might be malfunctioning... easy to try I guess...
any ideas?
Thanks
