When my heater is running, I get condensation on the inside of my windows and interior of the truck. It also has a slight antifreeze smell. Is this because of a leaking heater core?

Hi:
It could be the heater core, especially if you smell coolant. Are you seeing any steam? Also, do you have fresh air entering the truck and not recirculated air? Make sure the controler is on fresh air.

Let me know what you find.
