    you're basically running your fans all the time for no reason. that'd be a decent reason as to why you'd burn them out faster.

    i had a caspers fan switch in my car so if i was ever in heavy traffic i could turn it on to keep it cool. having them run all the time via the PCM is kinda stupid.

    No it's not. Because they only come on below X speed. They only run when the car is up to temp. Which keeps your temps constant instead of spiking and diving.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
