Technically, yes they can run without a thermostat. (not without coolant, just no thermostat) However, several things will happen. First, the engine will be cold all the time which will make it use more gas. Also, your heater will not work. Another thing is that your engine will not produce as much power because it's cold. etc. note: if this is being done to fix a problem like overheating, it will only work if the problem is caused by a faulty thermostat.
