Yes, the heater core can be damaged and the coolant not leak inside the truck. I am sure you have already been told this by your mechanic, but I wanted to respond since you asked. In case you don't want to spend the {large loot} to repair the unit, which I fear is the remedy, you may be able to get a portable heating unit to warm the vehicle for the winter months. {J.C.

Don't take this the wrong way, but is it possible you're out of gas? Also, do any of the dash lights come on when you're trying to start your Navigator?

Your problem from what I read is low voltage. Check your battery and cable ends and make sure you have good voltage, if not you will only get a click. Most often it is the most simple thing that goes over looked.

thanx for respond.....when i had replace the starter i had replace the Negative cable as well. The positive cable seems fine and i had check the voltage again and i got a reading of 11.90V, do u think that's too low ???? what had happened the wife went out to start the truck in the morning and just got a click. I found the poles very corrosive, clean them up and nothing still, another mechanic said the starter, so i replace it, still nothing : ) . I would try to put a booster on and change the positive cable and see if possible. but thanks a lot for the help.

You should have 12.5v with a good battery. Note: For general information, a weak
battery hurts gas mileage as the charging system works over time and will wear out the stater as it will get hot as it does not have proper voltage. A click when you turn the key is a sign of low voltage and I now wonder if your starter was indeed bad?

Well I boost the battery but still nothing and i did check the old starter and that's good as well. Don"t know what else to do on my own and i know for a fact the dealer is going to charge a hell of a lot.
Thanks for the help.

I would recheck the battery cable ends at the battery and insure the battery and all is well there before seeing a dealer. A cable can look ok, but yet fool; you!
