Why would my heater not heat in my 2005 gmc truck could it just be that i have to add antifreeze?
If your heater is not producing warmth in your 2005 GMC truck, it could indeed be due to low antifreeze levels, as insufficient coolant can prevent the heater core from receiving the necessary hot coolant to generate heat. Other potential issues might include a faulty thermostat, a clogged heater core, or problems with the heater control system. It's a good idea to check the coolant level first, and if it's low, topping it off may resolve the issue. If the problem persists, further diagnosis may be necessary.

You have antifreeze leaking only when car is running It is dripping down underneath the passenger side next to trasmission It is pure coolant You changed thermostat?
I would check the hoses leading into your radiator, and also the overflow for antifreeze. If that is not the problem, it could be your heater core. Your heater core might be leaking, you might have a hose leaking
What causes your engine to burn antifreeze?
Your car shouldn't "burn" antifreeze. If it actually is "burning" antifreeze then chances are you have a blown/leaking head gasket or possibly a cracked engine block which allows antifreeze to enter the combustion chambers. If your antifreeze is just disappearing then it is probably leaking out from somewhere. Possible leak areas to check out would be the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump, and the heater core. Most of the time if the heater core is leaking you'll be able to smell the antifreeze inside the car while the engine is running and the heater is on.
Why would antifreeze leak out of the heat ducts?
