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?

Do you have an aftermarket idle up feature? Makes a WORLD of difference on my 5.9. My factory idle up is at 900 rpm. My Bully Dog idle up is at 1150.
Yes, I have a Predator programmer that allows me to enable the cruise control idle up feature. In these very cold temps we are experiencing right now, I set it for 1150 RPM + or -, and that allowed the engine temp to stay at 145*f when the truck was stationary. Usually it drops right off the low end of the temp gauge.
