ILoveMyPatty Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Do I really need my engine fan? I'm driving 45 minutes and I don't have the time to screw around putting it back on after the body lift. Can I run the ol' girl without it for that period of time without running into issues, as long as I put the nuts and lock washers back on the pulley?

FUELER Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) ull be alright as long as u keep moving! the fan really becomes useful at slow speeds, idle, standstill i drove around for a bit with no fan and it would start overheating if i stood still too long Edited August 20, 2008 by FUELER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yup. What he said. If you're moving over about 15 or 20 mph, you don't need a fan. But if you have to stop for more than half a minute or so, shut off the engine to keep it from heating up. Watch the temp gauge! Most electric fans are on a temp switch. They're on only when the radiator needs more air moved through it, which is why they help with fuel economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
