E4OD question

My son has a 1995 f250 4x4 7.3l powerstroke. Earlier this year it lost the convertor clutch. Since it had 200k+ we rebuilt the trans with upgraded convertor and clutches, the pump had some issues so it was also replaced with a rebuilt pump with flow upgrades. When we reinstalled it we put a 6.0l cooler in. The trans works great but when the temp gets over 165*F (measured at the pan) the shift into OD becomes sluggish. As soon as the temperature goes down it returns to normal. Is this something that needs to be addressed? I owned the truck for several years and pulled a gooseneck with it a lot and don't recall it doing this but on the same token I ran in tow haul mode most of the time unless the trailer was empty.

What do you mean sluggish? As in the shift it self is slow, or it waits awhile before shifting into OD?

From the way he describes it the shift itself is slow

Sounds like either an EPC control problem (bad solenoid pack?) or the transmission has an internal leak somewhere than for the over-drive section.
