Hauling heavy

I haul about 11k with truck in signature.
In talking with a freind (he pulls with a 94 f350-460ci)last night I got to thinking. I spend alot of time in 2nd @ 55mph. climbing all the cool grades out west. Now the question, is my TC unlocked making lots of heat or is it designed well enough to keep cool during sustained climbs?
BTW These are not grades on the interstate, these are grades in and out of areas to ride dirtbikes. They are 10% or better.

Under a heavy load the converter is unlocked when it first shifts into 2nd but it locks up shortly after depending on the temp of the tranny.

This is what I thought, but I was told different last night.
Never had any tranny problems so I assumed all was well.
