I on the other hand have a short commute only 6 miles each way. I keep reading that short runs are rough on the new diesels because they don't get up to temp. Would my short commute be to short to warm it up good?
I live south of Atlanta, so in the winter, it's not like it will be really cold in the mornings. Not sure if that really matters.
I have a 2012 6.7 Power Stroke and have a ~8 mile commute. No fuel dilution problems, no emissions problems, no DEF problem. My truck has 128k miles and not a single issue to date.
Having said that these trucks do require some highway miles from time to time.
