Similar to another question asked in the forum. Antifreeze had broken down, got system flushed and shorlty after started to smell antifreeze when heating of cooling system was used. Took to local Dodge dealer to repair speed sensor on rear wheel and to have them pressure test cooling system (I had initially thought it was a heater core) The tested system & found no leaks, they then cleaned some box in the system and used "mr fridgy fresh?" In the process. The smell was gone for a couple days, but then returned. Any ideas on a final solution to this problem?

Is the coolant level dropping at all? IF you turn on the defroster is there anything abnormal happening?

Defroster works fine, no moisture on windshield present. Carpet not wet, smell is primarily when vent fan is turned on (heat or AC).

Yeah, gotta go with Jack on that.

Walmart probably has it as well.

I think that is a 5.2 motor.
