Truck Air Conditioning

Just replaced my water pump in my truck and I have this problem with the air conditioning. The air is really cold but whenever I switch it to heat smoke comes out of my vents. Smells moist and a bit like anitfreeze. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Your heater core is leaking.

Thats exactly what I was thinking! Have you ever fixed one?

wellif you havent done a heater core b4 have at least someone that has with you if you do it yourself!!!!!!

Have fun bud, doing a heater core on most air conditioned vehicles is such a pain in the arse.

i forgot it was ac vehicle..that means ur gunna have to get it rechargerd i think.. it costed my dad 400 bux to get his dodge recherged

400 to recharge AC?! LMFAO

he had it like emptied( or wutever they do to take all the freon out) and a few lines cracked on us and then they were replaced....it didnt cost that mutch to recharge it was the parts and labor and all the other bs the dealers put in

If it was an older car with a freon system, it is expensive.

Freon has been outlawed, so you have to change most of the system to comply with the new laws.

yeah it is a 93..then it wa alot cheaper to get the 98 recharged than the 93

I believe you can use R-134?

Thanks for the feedback. Right now my Dad and I are just going to bypass the heater core cause its Florida and I don't really need my heater during the summer. Thanks for the feedback.

That works but be careful on cold mornings (if thats possible lol) you wont be able to defrost the windows!

yeah that is rigth cars/trucks with ac there defroster does run off the ac...i forgot to ention that b4..

Ok, thanks! Has anyone every attempted to replace the heater core or just have it serviced by someone?
