Yea , its kinda confusing what your saying , As your going up a hill with a load,,, The tranny should DOWN shift to help you get up the hill.,,,, An then as you level off it should UP shift to the next gear . What is it yours not doing , getting stuck in the lower gear ?? , Or getting stuck in the Upper gear ?? , Do you know what your tranny is , how many miles on it , An when was the last time you did a oil change on it ,, Did you check the oil is it a dark red ? , An have a very strong odor ?,,,,,,, geessss we want to know alot huh . , does it hurt when i do THIS !!!!

I'll be honest , Ive never ran into one that acted quite that way, off the top of my head all I can think of is that should be an EAOD tranny. An you got a faulty 3 , 4 shift solenoid, these should set a code that can be pulled using a scanner . , sorry I cant offer a quick fix .
