Can a disconnected knock sensor cause your 6.0 liter engine to overheat when pulling your camper?

Not positive, but data on timing will not be correct and if the timing is off, and not corrected by the computer it could make the engine run hot.
You should be having trouble anyways, the engine isn't supposed to be able to run without all sensor inputs working properly.
You should make sure your thermostat, water pump, and radiator are all working properly, that is a more sensible reason for overheating. Many people think that removing the thermostat will help an engine stay cool, but without stopping the flow of coolant it never gets the chance to cool down sufficiently, until the whole volume is too hot.
