Engine light on when towing inclines

I took my first long trip with my '03 F350 Fx4 pulling an 8K boat and on inclines when I have my foot in it, the engine light comes on and then goes out when I go down after about 2-4 miles. I was doing highway speeds. Is this normal? My engine is stock except for the tymar high pressure cross over oil bypass, 10K mod and waste gate line pulled and sealed. All stock gauges including the tranny temp show no abnormal readings. Any help would be appreciated.

With the 10K mod you may be adding too much fuel for your setup. I would recommend, even with the 10K mod, that you at least get a pyro gauge. An aftermarket downpipe and 4" exhaust wouldn't be a bad idea either.
