My 2004 Dodge Diesel did the same thing. And it was in the switch on the brake pedal. Replaced the switch and problem was solved
Does not explain how it only fails when towing.
No but it seems like something in the trailer braking system (wiring, controller, etc) is affecting the truck.
Towing in OD won't overheat a transmission unless something is slipping. I towed in OD all the time with my 01. I had a temp gauge with the pickup on the TC out line and the it never got hot as long as the converter stayed locked up.
