I don't think its the tranny problem because i have the same tranny and i couldn't be happier. I myself drive 80 miles round trip to work and i have notice my 5.0 does not like hill's or steep climbs going flat it does great but it really doesn't like hills. I actally have found the 4r70w tranny to be a really good transmisson it never complains and always delivers. maybe its getting to hot? do you have a tranny coolier added? hope we can help you fix the problem

3.88's were never offered from the factory on our trucks,haven't even heard of this as an option from gear vendors. If yours are 3.08's,that is a big part of your problem!!

If your truck is a 2wd then the factory tire size is 235 75 15. Some 4x4 had the 265. Having the 235 is actually better for the drivability especially with 3.08 gears.
