Okay, so now with this Koyo radiator, I have noticed a few things. There was this brass colored pipe that went from stock radiator to something. This new radiator seems to have less things than my stock on did, like an insert for this brass pipe thingie. I had some antifreeze coming out of the radiator from near the cap, but I must have did something right, because it all stopped. Now I have a problem with my cooling fans, as they make this loud and horrible noise when they turn on. It is really embarrassing and I dunno what it could be. Maybe the motor? It sounds like a motor or like those machines that put air in your tires for $.50 as the gas station. When the fans stop, it has that same loud noise, but then it winds down. That's one of my questions.

The other question is how do I get my heater to work? I was having trouble getting it to work before and wasn't sure if it happened when they replaced my radiator hose and thermostat or after the clutch (going back as far as 3-5 months). I thought it was because I had a crack in my radiator up top, that maybe I wasn't able to feel heat from the heater. Now with a new aluminum radiator, I drove it around, hard on the freeway and still no heat. There is no difference from running the cold air and the heater, yet the ac appears to work (I think).

Dude - did we really need 3-5 threads about the same thing? It makes it harder to help you with your questions.
What Batman said [don't know why I didn't think of it sooner in the other thread] - check the fan blades to be sure they aren't hitting their own shroud. Then be sure the shroud is clearing the motor mount, cruise control etc.
About the heater - it's probably like what Batman said. Did you burp the system before you drove te car r did you just fill it up and call it a day? Air will becometrapped in the coolant lines and in the motor and it will eventually work it's way to the top of the system causeing you to not have enough coolant to feed the heater core. I'd double check the level and be sure the overflow is filled to it's little fill line [some may come out the next time you heat up the motor but better some lost than not enough]. Also be sure to manually check the heater selector thing on the firewall. The cables may have broken like mine and until you get those fixed you will have to do it from under the hood. If that fails and all is full - check the CC controls.
