'04 5 speed transmission

2 weeks ago I bought a '04 GC with a 4.7L and the 5 speed transmission 1200 miles. So far I have yet to see a discernable shift into 5th gear. is this normal?

Secondly, when I hit the OD/Off switch the engine goes up to around 3000 when cruising at 70, is this normal?

I started getting concerned when I read in a Dakota message board that the 545RFE transmission is the same as the 4 speed, but with a different software package to enable the 5th gear. Then it occurred to me that when switching out of OD, the system was actually going to 3rd gear instead of 4th.

Does anyone have any experience with this, and understand the workings of this 5 spd at all?

I talked to my dealer, they were no help.
