Bad Heater Core?
I have a 97 F150xlt extcab 4x4, it has the 4.6l with manual 5 speed.
My question is about fumes in the mornings driving to work, I can see
it comming from vents and defrost, but I'm not seeing any leaks, and the
coolant level hasn't dropped.Thanks for any advice.

Yes,I'm pretty sure it's anti-freeze.I was just hoping there might be something I could do to fix it,rather than pulling the dash out to replace the core.I can NOT
believe Ford engineers designed something like that.

Mine went bad (98 e350 superduty class c rv). I was just wondering if you had your radiator serviced lately? I had mine done and the following spring, after not running the rv over the winter, my heater core failed. I have been trying to figure if the shop used some aluminum unfriendly stuff to clean out the radiator.

I haven't replaced mine yet. When it happend this spring, I bypassed it and planned on changing it this fall after using the rv this summer. I just lost the engine and can't help but wonder if there was a connection. When I pulled over there was compression going into my overflow tank. It gets towed here tommarrow so I can start tearing it down to find out what happened. I am hoping that it is just a head gasket and nothing else is destroyed.
Good Luck.
