E4OD problems, again

GOt a few questions- I have a 1991 7.3 with the E4OD. I was on the highway last night doing about 74-77mph up some gradual hills in Vermont. The first 30 min of my trip felt fine no problems. After that I could feel the trans acting up. The tach would rev up from 2400 to 2700 rpm than drop back down. Itd do this for a couple time than stop. Is this the torque converter locking/unlocking up the hils or is it slipping? It only has maybe 15000 on the trans. Thanks

The trans and TC are reman-d units from ford installed 3 summers ago. Running the spec'd fluids and was not hauling any load

Follow up- I went for a short 5-6 mile drive todayt and had the transmission act the same way. I was doing 40-45 mph. What could this be? I smelled the ATF fluid but could not definitively say it smelled burnt. Any ideas?
