Default 1995 dodge ram 1500 5.9L 4wd overdrive problems

I have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 5.9L 4wd and I'm having some overdrive problems. At about 50 mph, and kicking into overdrive, the truck starts to bounce when I hit the gas. I've done some research and they said that it's a bad torque converter but I just had the tranny rebuilt with a new converter. I just got this truck and had to switch transmissions from my old truck into this one because I rolled my other dodge. All the sensors are good. Please help!

Sounds like it's missing. How are your plugs, dist. cap, plug wires and rotor?

I put a new computer in and it seems to be running great. It was sitting for 3 years and rusted completely. Thanks for the help!
