I'd be checking the line pressure of the governor pressure solenoid. What
you described is a common issue with a failing pressure solenoid.

You mean it doesn't want to upshift? My work truck
(3.9 Dak 42RE) does that. Have to back off (sometimes
WAY off) the gas so it can upshift to fourth. Seems
worse when hot,but that might just be a magnet of my
fignation. I think my fix is gonna be a flush and
filter change at Ma Mopar.
