thanks for the suggestion, I watched the tranny temp gauge very carefully and it did not move up at all. I did some tests last night and noticed that the torque converter in forth gear unlocks easily at speeds up to 55MPH, after that it will not unlock it simply downshifts. My guess is that it is designed to tow at speeds up to 55 in 4th gear after that if you need more torque it will force a downshift instead of locking and un locking the torque converter. I plan on the next trip to run at speeds between 50-55 MPH to see how weel it tows.
