Default Sound of water "swishing" under my dash!!!

I have just installed a new radiator in my 2001 1500 with 5.2 and after refilling the radiator I now have the sound of water sloshing upon acceleration under my dash. Could this be from the heater core? If so how can I fix this? I just bought this truck and discovered it had a blown head gasket and bad radiator. I cant afford the time right now to pull the head so I put in a bottle of Bars Leaks Head Gasket Sealer. It seems to be sealing up the leak slowly but was wondering if this could have anything to do with my problem stated above.
Thanks

Id check your coolant level and make sure its up to par. if not i know you said you had a head leak make sure its not in oil (pull out dipstick will be milky like). feel carpet is it wet? if so may be heater core then

Not to be rude, but what part of "this thread is not for posting of general questions" did you not understand? And then you go and start a new thread with the exact same question. Not a great way to start a relationship.

The sound you're hearing is air in the cooling system. It won't hurt anything, but it may cause some heating issues. You need to "burp" the air out of the system. I know there's a certain way to do this, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Somebody else will chime in.

No, the OP. I did merge your Woohoo! post with the original oil pressure thread so that anyone that was following it can see how you resolved it.
