Maintenance/Repairs

I’ve got a 1999 Ram 2500 V10 with an autotrans with factory over drive (OD). Over all the truck runs great. Lately while towing (7500-lbs) the engine will surge 200 to 400 rpm when the OD is off. Prior to this the transmission speed sensor was replaced (1800 miles ago). I’ve take it into a good transmission shop and they adjusted the TV or CV cable (not sure name) and no charge. Truck has nice crisp shifts in all gears OD on or off but I’ve still got the surging problem. My gut feelng is that it is not the torque converter but something electronic. What do you think is my trouble (besides a truck that gets 11 mpg and 6 when towing).

I should mention that I bought this truck and a toyhauler, used, as a gift to myself after serving 14-months in Iraq and Kuwait. NO MORE TENT CAMPING FOR ME!!!
