Does the engine temp need to get up to operating temp EVERY time you start the engine? If not, how many times can you do the start/stop scenario the truck before problems are encountered?  Not a guesstimate, not this happened to me once, but a real undisputable answer.  I too drive my diesel 4 miles a morning, but drive further on the weekend especially when towing.  I know the battery needs to recharge, fluids need to warm up, fuel mileage will stink until all is warm, but isn't this the same for a gasser?
