I would think the trans would be fine. First he is currently down on power due to the altitude and second the E4OD is pretty beefy.
I can think of plenty of people I've known over the years that would argue with you. Every one of them who has pulled a trailer had a failure sooner or later, mostly sooner. Same with many members here. And these are guys who are conscientious and treat their trucks right like Chuckster. He's had good luck with his trans, hopefully it continues. Some years back a Cummins field mechanic who drove a F350 7.3 mechanic's truck and never towed anything was complaining that he'd just had to have the trans overhauled. He said the trans shop told him, See'ya in another 60,000 miles. However, nowdays evidently the independent trans shops can beef them up for more reilability. Banks and ATS both sell a trans shift kit with their turbo kits to compensate for the added HP.
