Trailer Feels Heavier After Hauling for Period of Time

Hey all. I have some ideas of what the problem could be, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience and might be able to offer some insights. I have an ’02 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500...

Towing 6000 lbs realistic weight with an 02 chevy 5.3 and 4 speed transmission....hopefully with 3.73 gears, I cant imagine what the trans temps are getting up to, pretty hot for sure.

Brake light stuck on could keep the trailer brakes active and keep the torque converter from locking up, both = HEAT.
Any CEL or codes? Maybe it was in limp mode from high trans temps, I assume no trans temp gauge?
