I have owned similar trucks and vans with both 3.42 and 3.73 ratios and did not notice big difference. Actually I prefer 3.42 for towing because I can shift down to second on long hills and maintain 50-55 mph without overreving. Have towed 5000 lb travel trailer coast to coast border to border at least 100K miles over last 30 years with similar set up to yours and never had overheating problem. On other hand I now own 1994 2500 454 4.10 factory tow package with auxilary electric fan and it will overheat with 8000 lb. trailer on long hill if you push it to hard
