    Antifreeze smell out of the tail pipe when it's running!

    2002 Explorer with a 4.6L. Am I possibly looking at a head gasket? There is no smell after I shut her off, and it's pretty strong when running and it looks like steam coming out of the tail pipe even after she's warmed up. She seems to be running pretty well, no loss of power. She does sputter a...

    Ac is cold out of some vents but warm air out of others.

    Hey Gang, The AC in my 02, 4.6L XLT is strange. On the driver's side vents the AC is ice cold, on the passengers side it's like the compressor isn't even running. Would the blend door cause this? Thanks
