I have dual 12" fans on mine, thermostatically controlled (adjustable controller with prove in radiator fins) with an override switch on the dash. I have recently started turning the fans on about 1/4 to 1/2 mile before reaching my destination and, when I do, then fans rarely cut in after shutting off the engine. Before I started doing that I found the fans would run quite a long time after shutting the engine off. Obviously what I'm doing is cooling off the radiator enough to keep them from running, but I'm betting there's also a significant drop in under-hood temperatures as well.
