No, keep it running if your alternator can take it.

It all depends on what you got in your car. Like what type of stereo system, how powerful of a fan you got, how many lights and wut' kind, ignition set up,and what ever else you may have. If you dont have a lot of extra stuff, the stock alternator could probably push a fan like that. I got a small fan on mine now. It came on the car. It pulls very little power from the alternator. But I have a monster fan that could really drain my system on my old 300ZX with the stereo I had. But I doubt I would have any problems with the Mustang I have now. I have no stereo or FI, and a 140amp alternator.

I got a question for you guys. Anyone know where to get and or what to call those things you mount aftermarket electric fans with. They are like zip ties that you run through your radiator. ???

I found some on Ebay. Though I still dont know their technical name. They just called them "Slim Line Electric Fan Install Kit".
