I smell coolant when I turn on the heater in my 2001 Silverado. The heater will not get hot.

Your heater core is clogged, leaking, and/or going bad. If it was anything else in the cooling/heating system, you would not have the antifreeze odor. The heater core is located under the glove box. I hope this helps and good luck.
