I think having a good thermostat, and even covering part of the radiator to bring the engine up to proper operating temperature in cool weather is better advice than "run at or near max rpm". With most diesels, there's no reason you can't throttle back a bit, and shift up, if it will pull the load. However, you don't want to lug a diesel down below it's peak torque RPM (which is usually considerably lower than max RPM's).
