So i have recently had this issue happen to me after going on the first trip with the truck i bought a few months ago. This is a 93 with 230k, 4.88s, on 35s. Not sure what other information will be relevant.
After a camping trip this past weekend I was coming back from the mountains and all was normal until down the mountain on level ground and i got to the highway and was driving at highway speeds. At 60pmh+ and under 3,000 rpms i begin to experience 100-200rpm surges after the rpms hit 3,000 it begins to surge -100 to -200rpms. Anything under 60mph I don't notice this issue. It doesn't sure when i am pressing the accelerator or going down hill.
I have also noticed that my transmission fluid is pretty high.
At 30 seconds in the video is a really good example of my issue.

I am not sure if this next thing that happened to me today is related to what is going on with my rpm surge but anyways after driving it today for a good two hour test drive to pin point when the rpms issue was happening I got back to my house and turned around in my driveway but once i put it into reverse the truck died on me, I started it and then put it back into reverse and it died again. I started it again and revved the engine a little bit and then I put it into reverse and it didn't die that time.
Also some trail pictures for you guys to look at if you don't have an answer and are just here to browse.
