Winter fronts .....

I bought my Mopar Cover a couple of months ago and put it on yesterday. This morning it was mid 20's and I was really impressed how quickly the engine temp rose @ 65 mph. I had all flaps closed and I was at 200. The in cab heat was great.
What's the optimal engine temp for efficiency? My work commute is ~ 5 miles, so I'm thinking of keeping all the flaps closed unless it's above 35-40 to keep in some heat for this short trip. Good idea, or should I open a flap or two?

I think you will be fine leaving them all closed in 35-40° weather.
My short commute (~8 miles) is why I plug my truck in even when it is only 40° outside. I want to make sure it is warm when I get there. Not for me but for the engine. I just wish I could plug 'er in AT work.
