You actually drive 3 minutes to work, on a regular basis? And you warm up your vehicle by idling it with no load on it? Those are both terrible for the engine, as I am sure you know since you own a repair shop.
Sorry to hear about your engine failure, but a 4.6 is not well suited to that type of driving.
