1998 Ram 1500 4X4 71,000. Just replaced blown motor with junkyard motor. I have looked everywhere and performed pressure test on system and do not see a leak however when vehicle is running there is a strong smell of anti-freeze. Please help!

Warm up the vehicle untill you smell the antifreeze and turn the heat on hot and fan as slow as it can go, can you smell antifreeze in the ducts, if so then you have a bad heater core also if you have noticed any steam on your windows that wont go away just get worse when the defrosters are on.
