Smoke,
With your trailer, you can try to tow it in OD. If it is flat and the trans isn't hunting and your converter stays locked then go for it! I always tow with OD off. Trans temps run at 187 in 100 deg outside temps. I have seen 210 on steep grades. I have figured out how to pull all hills in 3rd gear with the torque converter locked. If I give it just a bit more throttle, I can unlock the converter and climb the hill with ease. In 2nd gear, the converter is unlocked and heat will build. I say try it in OD. If it hunts, then lock it out. If the temps rise, lock it out. The truck pulls great in 3rd. Pay attention to your tach. It will rise about 400 RPM's when the converter unlocks. A downshift will yield about 1000 RPM's
