What is going on with my tranny?

Heres what Ive got:
92, Chevy, 2500, 4x4, 350 motor, 4L80E auto

recently it seems that the transmission shifts way too early and at low rpms.
I will mainly see this when i go to put my foot on the gas when going up a hill and it will shift right away to the higher gear causing the engine to bog down giving me no power to get up the hill. If i punch it to the floor it will down shift and all is good. this gears i see this in is from 2 to 3 and all the rest after that. this does not only happen going up a hill but it is the worst at that time. Any Ideas??

Check for transmission and engine codes.
post back any codes.

MT: Can you get tranny codes from a '92 OBD1 system? If so, then I've learned something today (and that's a good thing at my age)

Not real sure about the '92 (as the above post will show) but if you have a TV cable attached to the throttle body linkage you may want to check that for proper adjustment to the tranny.

Yes on 1992 if a 4L80E transmission.
The 4L80 E is all electronic no TV cables or modulator valves.
