bad smell from vent
I have a 2004 two door 2wd Blazer. I have a bad smell coming from the vents when the heat is on at start up. It seems to clear up after a few mins. I am not noticing any smoke or leaks from the heater area. It is a chemical or exhaust type smell. Any Ideas?........1SG

Smell like antifreeze? I just finished fixing that problem, I had no leaks but that awful smell, after the truck heated up it went away. But my problem was a bad heater core.
Took me about 8 hours to do. Its not that bad just takes alot of time to do.
These trucks are prone to bad heater cores so im sure that it...good luck

I did a pressure test and it is holding good pressure. It seems to only happen in the morning and I guess it could be exhaust or even freon? Any other ideas before I take it to a mechanic friend?........1SG

My windows will fog up after my engine has been running for a while,Im not loosing any coolant and the heat will get so hot you have shut it off after about 5-10 minutes.The fogged up window goes away also but I have no smell of anykind when it happens.

Could be stagnant water in the housing due to a plugged drain pipe.The drain is on the outside of the firewall and will look like a black rubber hose with a duckbill end.Cleared mine and water drained out for about 5 minutes.Strangely,the swishing sound went away while making turns too. decided to clear all the body drains too,there are some at the rear that were holding a lot of water too.
