    Coolant smell inside truck

    Hi all. I've got a strong coolant smell inside the cabin when i have the heat on. Are there any known issues with hoses or heater cores? I don't see any coolant leaks anywhere inside the cabin. I am certain that there must be a leak somewhere because I can't even defrost my front windshield...

    Heater core question

    If a heater core is gowing bad, will you still get coolant smell in the cabin if the temperature control is on cold? I don't, but do get a strong odor with the temp control on hot. I'm hoping i've got a leaky hose somewhere instead of the heater core. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I've got the ABS pulsing at low speed problem. My ABS light is not on(it does when I first start, then goes away), and never has. Can I use the paper clip method described in the Haynes manual to see what I've got? or do you have to have a ABS light to pull a code? Thanks in advance.

    Parking Brake Engages By Itself

    I can't figure this out. My parking brake is shot. The PO never used it, and when I purchased the car, I tried using it once and both sides stuck. So I had to go underneath and hammer on the bellcranks to loosen them up. Fine. I haven't used the parking brake since. However, on occasion, the...

    Radio doesn't cause antenna to extend/retract

    My factory stereo doesn't cause my antenna to extend/retract. Is this normal for a '94? I have to manually press the up/down buttons for the antenna to move. On a similar note, my antenna sticks up about 6 inches. It won't go any lower, even though I can hear the motor try to take it lower, I...
