The thermostat control engine temperature. If it fails the engine can run hot or cold - that would happen long before over-heating caused the engine to stall.

Can a thermostat stall a truck?
A thermostat cannot stall a vehicle directly. If your thermostat fails and will not open properly your vehicle will likely overheat. Overheating can do some very serious damage to your engine and the damage from the overheat can definitely disable the engine. Costly repairs or possibly replacement of the entire could be the result of a severe overheat. So, while your thermostat cannot directly stall your vehicle it may cause an overheat that could verywell stall your vehicle. That said, there are many cars today whose computers will deliberately limit the engines performance in the case of an overheat to help warn you of the problem, and give you time to get off the road before serious damage occurs. I am not aware that any manufacturers actually want the computer to shut the car down entirely upon an overheat as that could easily leave you stranded in traffic lanes. If someone knows different, perhaps they will answer.

The actual removal of the thermostat will not cause this condition but if you possibly disconnected a vacuum hose white changing the thermostat, WOULD cause that problem. Check all of the vacuum hoses to make sure they are connected and tight.
