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?

Maybe its just me but I will never go back to a gas motored HD pickup- never! I would buy a car for daily driving and rent a diesel pickup for trips before buying an HD truck with a gas motor. I get everyone has different needs... and this is just my personal preference.
But- After 15 years of HD diesel pickups- the smile is still there. :)
Not trying to change your mind- I "get" the diesel love, I really do- but have you driven a late-model gasser with a solid transmission behind it, i.e. 05-newer V10 with 5 or 6-speed Torqshift, GM 6.0/6-speed combo, or a GM or Ford 6.2L in front of a 6-speed?
Perhaps you have and still feel that way and I totally respect that, I'm just curious if, when you think of gassers, you're thinking of the offerings from 10-15 years ago as opposed to now.
