Electrical noise is usually the culprit.

Clean up all battery terminals and alternator connections.
Make sure the PCM (behind the air filter, on the firewall) has a good ground connection.

Are you sure it's jumping from 4th to 3rd and back? or
Could be your lock up torque convertor locking/unlocking? this is a common problem with older trucks. As simple as a bad ground etc.. to your torque convertor being shot. Does it do this while accellerating or while holding a steady speed?

Since our trucks only come with a 3 speed automatic transmission, that is indeed what is happening.
(overdrive being mistaken for 4th)
