Loss Of Power Towing

I Have An 05 E350 I Tow About 11000 Pounds With It. I Have About 50,000 Miles On It Half Or More Towing. On My Last Trip It Lost Power It Was All Up Hill. At The Top Of The Last Cople Grades It Dropped Down To About 40 A Little Slower Than Usaul But Aceptable The Problem Was When I Flatined Out It Had No Power Couldn't Get It Over 45 On Flat Ground. Then The Last Grade At The Top It Missed A Shift. And Had No Power. I Pulled Over And Sat For About A Half Hour. A Couple More Small Grades Left And It Still Didn't Pull Well. Once I Got Through The Grades It Took A While To Get Back Up To Speed. The Rest Of The Trip No Problems. I Know I Need Gaudges But Not In The Budget Yet. Is There A Limp Mode If The Tranny Gets To Hot? The Check Engine Light Never Came On. I Have A 1000 Mile Trip Next Month And A Little Nervice About It. Van Is Stock Except Modified Air Box And Body Lift.
