Will a 10 mile commute kill a diesel?
Looking at a 2014 Ram 2500 diesel but will my 10 mile round trip daily commute damage the engine? Should I just get the Hemi?

We run 7 2013/2014 ram 2500's diesels as construction trucks. Many short trips from construction site to construction site in the winter as low as -40C. Never had a problem. We first started using diesels back in the 80's starting with the 5.7 Chevy. and have run diesels ever since winter and summer, +40C to -40C, short trips, long trips loaded with bobcats on trailers, no loads. Trade them off every three years, often high mileage and have never had a major engine or drive train problem, apart from the occasional stupidity. Incidently the Chev 5.7 still runs... use it to smog for flies LOL.
