Do a OBD1 fault code test and see if a speed sensor code shows up, if this sensor is defective it will cause the truck to drop out oif OD. The VSS sensor is located on the drivers side of the transmission case. Use the Check engine light flash out to read the code.

SOURCE: Transmission problems

If you have not had your transmission serviced in the last 30K I would start with that. when the filters start to get restricted it can cause this problem. Be certain who ever does the job is familiar with chrysler transmission as they require atf+ 4 fluid and the clutch bands need to be adjusted to the right spec. It is also possible that the vehicle speed senser is bad this would most likely affect your speedometer as well. there is also the chance that there is an electrical problem bad switch or short in the wiring this is unlikely

Any time your dealing with a 4x4 system the best start is at you front axle. Its primarily a vacuum leak so check to see if the 2 vac lines are hooked up (its good to check the electric connections.). When your 4 wheel drive is engaged and the motors running you should have vacuum at one or both of thee lines depending on if your in 4 hi or low .
If no vacuum at axle check the Vacum switchs(the plug with 4 vac lines) on top of the transfer case it will have 2 feed lines(grey & green) they conect in to the into the vacum harness on back of motor (passanger side). A vacum schematic is normally located on the raditor core support (right under the hood next to hood release)
Hope this helps

sounds like you may havea torque converter lockup issue, one way to check is while in slower traffic (15-35mph) gear down your transmission such that you are at a higher rpm (2000-2500) then take your foot all the way off the throttle, if it is in lockup your engine rpm will stay about the same, if not it will go to about idle.

If the tcc doesn't unlock while shifting it will shift very hard and if it slips it will make your temperature increase
