Question can someone help me?

Ok every time i turn on the heat in my f150 it has a very strong odor, when it is really cold it smells like urine, but when it is above 40 degrees it has a strong smell of coffee, i just wondered if that meant i needed to replace my heater core

mildew has taken up residence on your evaporator. Common problem especially in high humidity areas. You need to make sure the drain line from your evaporator is not plugged, if it is, clean it out. They make special products for killing and removing mildew for AC systems.
