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?

On the Olympic Peninsula in WA diesel is 30% more expensive than gas so that more than offsets the additional 15% better MPG of the diesel. Don't buy one to save money because you won't.
Diesels do like to me driven hard but don't put the pedal to the metal when you first start driving it. Putting the 10 - 12 quarts of oil that is sitting in the pan under extreme pressure is not a wise move.

Don't know how you came up with 30 percent?
