Default Smoke/unknown substance in air system

I have a 2005 jimmy (blazer) 4.3L and within 5 min of starting the vehicle, I have been getting some sort of a light colored smoke coming out of my dash vents that clings to the inside of my windshield. There is a very faint odour to it (almost like burnt coolant) but then it stops after a couple of minutes and if I blow hot or cold air in full defrost mode, it seems to mostly disappear. I just had a coolant flush a couple of months ago but this just started happening 2 weeks ago.

You may want to check for a leaking heater core as this could be a cause. I would suggest using the search feature of this forum and you may see other posts that are similar to your issue.

I would say core as well. Check the floor near the transmission tunnel on the passenger side for wetness.

Leaking heater core for the win.
