If most or all of your driving in the winter time is of the inefficient stop and go driving of say 3 to 5 miles and really no hard, wide open throttle type driving, you could quite easily remove just the fan and replace just the hub and the studs. Usually that can be done. Then by keeping an eye on the temp gauge you should be able to reach a good working high temperature easily. But always beware of overheating!
