Mark, It is possible to get by with out the cooling fans depending on your driving habits. Short hauls or long hauls. But, If everything is working ok, then the thermostat should let the engine get up to operating temp and the fans would cool the coolant going back to it. But at the least I would have one of them come on to cut down on the current draw or my new fans that take less than 1/2 the current. That may be living a little to dangerous to not have either come on. One moment you forget to look down and your overheating.

You can read about it here. http://www.entermyworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15897#15897 A perfectly tuned DMC engine has no need for fans in colder climates. Does your car run hot? If so, tune the darn thing!!! Is this true?
