Default Can I drive with no aux fan?

Hey everybody--------. My Cherokee lost a big chunk of it's aux fan today and I spent a while by the side of the road breaking the rest of the blades off so I could limp home relatively vibration free. I have a big weekend planned which involves a lot of driving. Can I drive this thing in this heat ( W/no AC of course) with no aux fan?
Thanks a lot ------Chris U.

XJs without AC didn't have the E-fan, so you should be OK. Watch the temperature gauge.

You could have just unplugged the fan.

u mean the electric fan? it depends if your jeep runs really hot. my fan just broke so for a few days i didnt have a fan. but my jeep never got to the point where the fan wouldve kicked on. so if u get stuck in traffic its gonna overheat since u dont have that fan. try calling around a few places and see if they have one in stock. also search on here or google cuz i know some people use different fans because they work better then the stock one

If the cooling system is functioning correctly, it should not overheat.....for the reason excess650 stated.
