Transmission Issues

Awhile back I wrote on here about having transmission problems. I never found anything out with it. It seems recently I have been pulling trailers and hauling heavy loads and when I do this, everytime my transmission starts acting up. It doesnt want to shift. Just starts slippng and the motor revs. I let off of it and then it will gradually shift. I always take it easy when ive got a load on just so I wont break anything. Then when I am empty it drives normal whether I'm still takin it easy or if I'm getting on it. Anyways, anybody got any ideas?

Thanks
Ben

Is it building high temps? Whats the condition of your ATF? Clean? Smell Burnt? Does it feel gritty between your fingers? How long since your last flush/change?
