New Heater Core Smell

I just had my heater core replaced at the dealer and now when I turn on my heater I get a metallic smell. I'm assuming this is from the new heater core. Does this go away after a while?

As long as you aren't smelling anti-freeze you should be just fine.

No antifreeze anymore but that metallic smell is nasty. I'll have to stop and buy some air fresheners on the way home :-)

That is probably whatever they coated it with to prevent corrosion. I would heave it on high temp low blow for a few days to burn it off.

Smoke a joint in the truck and you won't notice it.
