Perch,
What motor is in your D? Is it all wheel drive? Let me know and I will check for any service bulletins on the issue.

Only when its in overdrive it seems like its not shifting right or too early.

Are you sure that they put atf+4 in the trans. If not, get it out asap.
Also, how did they flush it? The only way that they could have done that is IF you have the tow package, they could use the lines to the trans cooler. Otherwise, the pan on our Durango (same setup as yours) does not have set of ports to hook up a flush machine.
Best bet is to drop the pan, replace both filters and fill the trans up with atf+4 (6 quarts).

The 4.7 L engine uses a TPS or throttle position sensor that is attached to the throttle body. If/when this malfunctions, it can cause erratic trans operation big time.
Three screws hold it on, and you can install the new one easily.
I would give this a try as it may be the remedy to your issue. Another telltale sign of a bad TPS is the convertor locking/unlocking when using cruise control on flat land. You will see the RPMs jump up and down a couple hundred if this is the case.
