Also, I've had some similar issues, not while towing though. The codes mine threw had nothing to do with tranny, in fact it was with emissions control junk. And literally I was at about the same RPM as the OP, trying to accelerate up a hill in CO. Went into limp mode and shook the whole rig multiple times.
This is why I now travel with at least one device that can pull and reset codes (both my tuner and a cheap Amazon sourced OBD scanner). I pulled over, read the codes, reset the codes and bam, was able to drive to my destination fine. These things seem to be incredibly touchy! I would have assumed that if the tranny was overheating, the gauge cluster would have notified the driver of that condition, as it doesn't happen instantly, it would have been a condition that would have progressed over a period.
