Default trans Problems FLM

My 1999 dodge ram 1500 5.9l 4x4. I’m still having Tran’s problems, when I’m driving the rpm gauge, keep bouncing/shifting late, I used a tuner to raise the rpm limit, fixed the problem for a while, then my truck stops getting power to the wheels. I pull over let it sit for a bit, and I can drive again, WTF is wrong

Might be TPS. Might be pressure sensor and solenoid in the trans.

TPS is on the drivers side of the throttle body. Throttle position sensor. Need a meter, or scanner to test. (or, simply replace it, and see what happens.)

(governor) Pressure sensor and solenoid are IN the transmission. Drop the pan, and they become visible. They are rather notorious for screwing up..... only way to really test them, (if you aren't getting codes for 'em) is to dig in, and inspect.
