No power when towing
 
I have a 95 f350 7.3 4x4 crew cab with long bed. It has 216k on the od. It pulls and drives great empty but I hooked to a 26' gooseneck and pulled good till we loaded a shipping container on it that weighed 4608lbs. I couldn't get over 60 mph and was starting to warm up. I live near Houston tx so was pulling on a slight upgrade butt Nothing major. Any ideas on what to check? Air cleaner is new. I make no smoke out of the exhaust and the blow by from the valve cover is almost non existent. I need to fill the container and move to Wyoming in August so any help would be great. I did order a 6 pos tp chip for it but am afraid of the high temps it may cause. Thanks

I would get a set of gauges first to monitor vitals of truck. Is it automatic? If so is it shifting properly?

Also if you had gauges you could tell if you had boost leaks or not.

Yea I def need some gauges. It is an automatic and is shifting fine as far as I can tell. Truck has 4.10 rears I have been told. Without a trailer it is a strong running truck and shifts through all the gears normally with no slippage and doesn't get hot at all.
