Take the truck out on the interstate and let the regen process complete.

I would take it on a nice cruise at 70 mph for a good hour or so, JMHO.

The constant short trips and shutting down in regen cannot be good for the truck.

Also, are you current with the latest re-flashes?

Your engine warranty is 5 years or 100,000 miles whichever comes first. If your only driving a few miles at a time and not regenerating the DPF you will have problems with the DPF and the emission controls probably other engine problems as well. Diesels were designed to work hard. It doesn't sound like you are getting the engine even warm. This is not good for any engine even a gasser. I'd would get a Spartan tuner
