I wish you the best, as I too plan on running a Ford E350 eventually as my TV.
I had a E250 back when "250" really meant something and look forward to getting back to a full size van for towing.
I wish Ford would equip the wagons for towing as they do the cargo vans, but they don't, which currently limits v8 wagons to the 6000-7000 lb range.
I wish you had a tranny temp gauge, as I'd really like to know what your tranny temps are while running in OD. I'm very curious, but simply wouldn't risk towing in OD again, and wouldn't advise anyone to do so either.
Just for curiosity, you may want to check the condition of your tranny fluid. See if it shows any signs of turning brownish, or has a "burned" smell.
