Well, my only thought here is that these are diesel engines that require proper heat to function at their best. So, if you are driving around in cold temperatures without a t-stat, then you aren't doing your engine any favors. If it is cold enough out, you won't get up to proper operating temperatures and your engine will probably not be burning fuel efficiently.
