Unless you're towing behind your TC, I cannot imagine you are working that gasser so hard with just a TC on the back of the truck. My experience was with the 6.0 PSD, but I was over 19k lbs GCW with no issues crossing the Rockies over I-80 or I-90.
Ha, you might want to test drive a 6.2/3.73. Very sluggish, but gets the job done. Kind of tiring when driving across country really. I do like it however, but wish I had 4.30's.

Interesting. It must be frontal area wind resistance more than the weight causing the sluggishness.
405 lbs of torque at 4500 rpm is the reason.
Its why the gas guys need/like deep gearing. I'm making more than double that at 1600 rpm.
