Sounds like you need to clean/test your batteries/connections.

Default Tranny

I was talking to a friend just yesterday about his 1998 Diesel that has been doing the samething, RPM going up an down. He had the tranny rebuilt and it still does it. He found a diesel specialist who told him that it's his torque converter(locking and unlocking) caused by an electro magnetic signal from alternator and that he should try to shield his alternator.
He also stated that another tranny shop told him it was his torque converter lock up but the shop doesn't work on them because they know that they can't fix it.
I know this doesn't help, but somethimes any help is better than none. Good luck
