Has anyone tried the Mopar A/C evaporator cleaner aerosol treatment on the heater core? If so, where did it get sprayed in?
Here's the link for the treatment: http://dodgeram.info/tsb/1997/24-11-97.htm
The smell I am getting can be described as wet wool, or perhaps musty. My daughter thinks it's sawdust. It seems to diminish after we have operated the heater for a few minutes. Operating the defroster *does not* fog up the windshield. Before the smell diminishes, it's terrible! My daughter and I just returned from a trip to the SW CO mountains and we used the heater only when we got too cold in the cab.
The smell isn't the sick-sweet smell of anti-freeze. With some imagination, I suppose it could be described as burned antifreeze. But the antifreeze level in the overflow tank doesn't seem to drop.
I want to fix the smell, if I can, without yanking out the whole hvac (lowercase) assembly. It does have A/C, which complicates it.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
