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 ?

This is lately. Summer fuel blend and windy driving. Pulling the boat 4 days a week. It CAN get worse.
