I would guess your fan clutch isn't working. If it came on you would have heard it. They are quite loud.

I tow a 37ft 5th that weighs in at 15,000lbs. I have an 2007 duramax/allison. On a 6% long grade the temp will go up slightly and the fan clutch kicks on (sounds like the engine is over revving). The temp never gets high enough to worry about.
