Thanks Brian,
My truck is equiped with a "Juice With Attitude" and I can control all parameters of fueling, EGT, boost etc. So I can keep a good eye on conditions and if parameters are exceeded then the JWA will "de-fuel" the engine and keep me out of trouble.
At over 600 pounds foot torque, I think I'll be ok with a locked up converter at 40 - 45 mph. This is about the only time the truck downshifts. Even with a 10,000 pound tow, it never downshifts at highway speeds. Even in the mountains out west. Amazing truck and engine!
