2021 ram burning coolant smell

I've never smelled coolant out of my AC vents, you possibly have a small heater core leak, I would definitely get that checked out, there is a way to block it off (examples showing how online) so you can still use your truck until it's fixed, if that's the case.

In the future I'm going to be exporting my Rebel to the Philippines, I'm going to be blocking off the heater core permanently since I'll never need to use it there.
 
Yea, no greasy film anywhere that I can tell. No moisture on the floorboards. Everything running normal, but the smell. Going to take it in for a new heater core. My buddy always use to tell me it smelt like coolant since I bought it new. Took it to the dealer 2 times and they couldn't find anything. But of course all my warranty it up now. So perfect timing to pay for the ****tiest job lol
 
It was the heater core, dealer took it in early as the vapor was getting worse. They covered a rental for me, dropped it off yesterday afternoon. Should have it back tomorrow afternoon.
Approx cost 2360$ CAD
 
I have 2021 ram night edition I started smelling a burning coolant smell from under my hood so I took it to the dealership they replaced a couple lines they claimed had small leak I never saw no drips in my driveway so I got my truck back and still have the smell so I takes it back again then they say it's heater core they replace that get my truck back an still have the smell. I don't no what else to do because the dealership seems to want to keep playing a guessing game with my truck so I don't no what else to do if the manufacturer can't fix the problem.
The same thing happen to me, first heater core then lines still smell it. Did yours ever get fixed?
