Far too much of a blanket statement.
It depends on your climate, and your drive.

I removed mine about a month ago because of these cold temps, and have had no problems.

yeah i got an electric fan also. i just thought it is something that would not need to be turning and might free up a few horsepower.

Yes, as long as you put an electric fan in its place. I have an electric fan with a switch on the dash and I've only ever turned it on if the truck is going to be sitting for more than a couple minutes.

I'm not planning to leave it off when it starts warming up, but the efan mod is in the works for this year
