Default Cold bottom rad hose...Problems...need help???

So I did a zc swap first off. Before i did the swap my temp gauge didn't work and i was having overheating problems on long trips without the heat on.

Now that the d15 died i replaced it with a sohc zc. runs and seems fine but my fan never comes on and my bottom rad hose feels empty and never gets warm. Since my temp gauge doesn't work i have no idea if i'm overheating.

Can someone please help me out?
