Default My tranny ?

Any ideal why my tranny cuts in and out if I cruise between 45-55 mph?

sounds like you need a new sensor.. there is one hiding out under the pan that engages the torque converter lock-up function.. me bets that is your huckleberry..

i have to second the sensor, I wouldn't drive too much with it like that, you might damage the overdrive gear... (assuming you have O/D)....

Any DTCs?

Auto or stick? I found a sensor at ROCKAUTO.com
they are much cheaper than parts stores or dealerships with the same brand.

Get you the cheap sensor at Rockauto or where ever you choose and let us know how that goes.

Heck in this link the part they are already talking about is in the shopping cart, with a discount that they sent me.
