Well, Mine went at about 22,000 miles. I had that smell of antifreeze but
didn't know what it was. Then one day after revving her real hard and
redlining it though second, some smoke/steam started coming through the
vents. This scared me. I immediately took it to the dealer. When I got there
I had coolant all over my shoe and the floor of driver and pass side.
Luckily it was under warranty and even got them to replace my carpet.

Subject: DML: Heater core on the way out?
Greetings DML'ers:
I have a '97 4x4 CC 5Spd Sport+ with AC. When I turn on the heater I can
smell antifreeze.
I checked out the engine compartment and can find no leaks. I had the
dealer pressure test the
cooling system about 4 months ago and everything was fine (they said)...
I have about 80k miles on the truck. Is it normal for the heater core to go
at 80k?
How much should it be to get it fixed/replaced? I checked out my hynes
manual and it
looked like a couple of hours labor...
thanx!
