worries, i write it off as
normal after constantly looking under hood for leaks

The overflow tank has a pop on cap that doesn't form a tight seal, I'm guessing we're smelling vapor from there

Noticed an antifreeze smell *inside of my ‘19 Laramie today - very strong.

-no coolant in the reservoir this morning, definitely has a leak.

You might check to see if your carpet is wet, sounds like it could be a leaking heater core or connection.

Same issue from day one, runs at normal temps and fluid never gets low so I just wrote it off as normal .

Here’s something - if you have the smell and can’t seem to find a solid indicator, check the inside of your windshield. The first indication finally came up the other day, reservoir took 2 litres of antifreeze to top up. Last night I was out picking up my daughter from dance and was waiting in the parking lot, there I found the second indicator - I noticed that an oily film had developed on the windshield. Truck goes in on Thursday, thankfully I found the telltale signs because last time it was pressure tested and techs also said that they couldn’t smell anything.

Keep us posted on the findings, if any.

Absolutely will - I’ll add to my post: spent about an hour and a half in the truck today (heat on) and my eyes were super irritated, I actually felt very light-headed and nauseous when I got back. Wasn’t cool at all, panicked a bit when I had to steady myself at the door to my house. In looking it up I found that those are common symptoms of glycol (etc) mist inhalation. Not saying that it was *definitely the cause, but I checked most of the boxes on that list of symptoms.

Well, there it is, heater core is pooched and parts are on back order indefinitely. It’s now a truck that I can’t drive. Well, I would maybe drive with the windows down but this is Canada in the winter. n-f-w

I had mentioned to them a couple of other issues, one was the passenger side step motor (the other had literally just been done a week or so earlier) and they confirmed it needs to be replaced - indefinite backorder. Both rear shocks were slamming, need to be replaced - indefinite backorder.
