Was sitting with a group of tradies the other day at lunch, and
the conversation of towing with cars, trucks, etc, got underway, ...lol, but one guy made a statement that i've taken on board; and that was inregard to towing up a looong hill, then going down the other side, letting it go down on overrun with a tap on the brakes now & then. Not good for alloy heads as temps rise a lot more than shown on the guage, so its better to try and drive with a bit of throttle so as not let it cool to quick when on the down hill run.

Not allways possible, but alloy heats and cools very quick, so in my opinion i think he was right in what he said.
