No AC, Auxilary Fan Required?
Is the electric auxiliary fan required if there is no AC? My 99 Sport originally was equiped with AC, but the previous owner had a front end fender bender and never replaced the condenser and one hose is severed. I don't use AC normally, and I know the fan is programed to come on at 218, but mine runs at a tick below 210, even on the hotest summer days. Can I permanently remove the fan?

Unless you have a good reason to remove it, leave it there. You'll regret taking it out when you're way the hell up in the mountains overheating. Ask me how I know.

FWIW, factory standard cooling consisted of the belt driven fan only. With only one rad fan, cooling system maintenance is of the utmost importance.
