Default Transmission downshifts with little gas pedal application

I have a 1993 dodge dakota with the 3.9L, automatic trans. Noticed recently on the freeway, I have to barely push down on the gas pedal to keep it at top gear and maintain speed. Otherwise if I push down a little harder it wants to downshift to a lower gear. What can i do?

You probably need to adjust the Throttle Valve (TV) cable.
