Have some problems Options

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).

Okay thanks. And I only posted two regarding the fans. No one was replying and to me, this is something serious that I want to take care of asap. I missed my car and want to be able to drive it, if it is a quick fix, then I wish to be educated on the problem. The coolant was filled and then I ran the car but just until the temperature got normal. I even drove it on the freeway and such, there was something in there, because at first, fluid was finding a way to escape from being driven on the street. I adjusted the cap and I took that thing on the freeway where I put some high rpms into it. Came back home, it stopped leaking fluid (assuming it probably came from overflow or a loose cap). I just want to take care of that fan sound mainly, and after summer see what's up with that heater.

When my radiator had a crack in it, there was smoke coming from it. I am not sure if this would be a problem for an engine, but it never did try to overheat. The smoke really concerned me though and also yes, I was losing radiator fluid as well, but never did it try to overheat. Maybe I should check my thermostat too or something.

Anyways, sorry for the other post, but I really needed help and felt one wasn't doing it. Besides, you can relate it to this, but technically, it wasn't exactly the same question.



EDIT: DEATH! You were right! It was just rubbing! LOL Thank you so much Again, sorry for the other one.
