Now that everybody is attempting to squeeze out all the mileage they can get I see fan removal come up several times. In the past I've heard folks say that they just removed theirs and left it at that.

Here in KY, my truck is slow to warm up and almost always reads on the cool side. If I remove the fan, shouldn't I add on an electric one just in case? Truck runs in the upper south, 500-800 feet elevation and occassionally pulls 10-15K.

What say ye of experience?

 

The truck can run at a higher temp than say a comparable gasser could, BUT, our weakness when it comes to heat is that your just as likely to blow out a head gasket as you are to boil the radiator....

If you wanted to remove the fan, I would think the safest way to do it would be to install a numerical temp gauge first and establish a baseline for the truck before removing the fan..
If you were to go with an electric,I'd think a dual fan would be better than a single, simply due to the amount of air you'd need to move across/thru the radiator. .....

just my thoughts, not to be taken as expert advice.......
