Coolant smell, windows fog up
I own a 1999 ford f-150 4.6 liter 4x4...that i just recently flushed the cooling system due to the heater not blowing very warm air......
every since i flushed the system, whenever i turn the heat on, i get a strong smell of anti-freeze, and my windows fog up so bad that i have to wipe thewm off with a cloth. I have looked for a leak, cannot find one. I have checked inside floorboards , all are dry...... could this be the heater core, and why would it only do this after flushing? the engine never overheats......

More than likely.
There's been a lot of discussion about replacing heater cores, suggest you do a search. These aluminum cores commonly fail b/c of internal corrosion & flushing can open up pin holes. Failure to change antifreeze is implicated in the corrosion.
