Remove fan in extreme cold weather?

Post by dualsport »

Hey guys... Things just got really cold up here and I was wondering about removing my fan for a couple months. I've yet to step up to the efan mod yet, and this morning it was -38 at the house and the fan was making some 'weird' noises as it was warming up. I'm considering just completely removing the fan till I get the efan system in place?

Any word of caution? Or just go for it?

Thanks...

I would not run without a fan. Do the e-fans.
