I have a 1999 dodge durango and smell antifreeze when the heater is on, but Im not loosing any antifreeze in the overflow tank or the radiator. And if it is the heater core, how hard is it to change. I know some cars you have to take out the dash. anyone here changed one?Heater core on a 1999 durango?
I work for a Chrysler dealer in service. It sounds like a heater core. If you can smell it and don't see any leaks on the ground, it more than likely is the core. If it starts to leak on the pass side floor inside the vehicle or you get a mist out of the vents when the heater is on, then that is the tell tale sign that the heater core is shot. Yes, you do have to pull the dash to change it. It's about a 4-5 hour process for our techs.Heater core on a 1999 durango?

IT TAKES 5 HOURS TO DO IT WHICH INVOLVE REMOVING THE DASHBOARD. ANY TIME YOU SMELL ANTIFREEZE WHICH IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH, THE HEATER CORE IS LEAKING COOLANT. THE REASON WHY YOU NOT LOOSING COOLANT IS IT IS LEAKING VERY SMALL ENOUGH TO SMELL IT.Heater core on a 1999 durango?
If your heater core is leaking, you'll have coolant leaking inside your car and eventually lose coolant. Are you sure it is antifreeze you smell or more like mildew or musky smell which indicates build up in your heater core. I'm not familair with your vehicle but in some, you can get to it from the firewall inside the engine housing.
