2001 f150 shift problem

I have a 2001 F-150 5.4 which has just made 100,000 miles. I have started to notice when traveling at 55-60 mph I get a slight and brief rumble. ( It sounds as if I am driving a rumble strip on the highway). This is brief and only lasts about a half a second. when it occurs the rpms go up and then back down. It seems to happen more so when I am going on an upgrade. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what was the correction. Was it the rear end, trans.? Any help out there would be appreciated.

Sounds like Torque Converter shutter. Check the trans fluid level & condition.
If it's due for a fluid/filter change then this would be a good time.
