I can't agree with your technique at all. There is an rpm range that all engines pull best in. That is where you want to be. Gearing down and going slower will produce less heat.
Yep ^^^ also trying to keep you converter locked is going to burn it up not designed to pull a 7000 or more T/T up a steep grade. only for hi gear and not pulling, luging the trans will heat it more. that's why transmissions have gears the more the better. let it shift down and keep the engine in the rpm range that makes the most power. big rig drivers don't lug there engines they run them at a certain rpm range for the best power range and adjust with there gear boxes.
