![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/01/full-93588-126271-image.jpg) It could always be worse.  Is that your Tundra? What does it average pulling your Skeeter? Between 9 and 10.

We have put 2 sets of heads on 2 trucks and a engine in one truck. They still have valve issues burning a exhaust valve or dropping a valve. From what I seen so far the valve issues were running loaded and stopping and just turning the truck off never even letting it cool down for not even a minute after a heavy load. Cooling issues as well ?

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-93588-139931-image.jpg) This is lately. Summer fuel blend and windy driving. Pulling the boat 4 days a week. It CAN get worse.

This is lately. Summer fuel blend and windy driving. Pulling the boat 4 days a week. It CAN get worse. Better than what my Raptor got towing my bay boat. It would get between 7-9 depending on wind direction. Without the boat I was lucky to get 15-16 with a tailwind.
