So, you have roughly 80,000 miles on the trans now, have you changed the fluid since the original install? I believe I would start with resetting the kick down cable, probably won't help, but its pretty easy and may help with the problem. Could be an issue with the cable & linkage not moving like its suppose to, since its mostly driven in the salt & slop now.
I have a 96 Dakota 5.2, 4x4 stuff in my 49 that originally had 44,000 miles on it (now has 63,000 miles on it). When I use the truck, I back it out of my driveway, then shift it into forward to drive away. I have found that it doesn't like to go from reverse into drive and pull away as soon as it grabs. Almost every time I do a fast direction change and want to drive as soon as it grabs, it messes up the shifting. It wants to hang in 2nd a lot longer then normal. If I pull over, put it in park, shut it off, then restart it and put it into drive and wait a couple seconds before moving, it shifts well.
I have read that the speed sensor at the tail end of the trans determines the up shift rpm. I don't believe Mopar units are available any longer, so maybe when the aftermarket speed sensors get older, they don't function so well. There is also a relay in the under hood fuse box that controls the OD and the solenoid pack in the trans (mine was labeled on the box cover as a fan relay instead of a trans relay, the only thing that used an electric fan was the 4 cylinder, that is an early production 96 deal). Maybe that relay has some corrosion on its terminals.

Is this actually an RE trans or an RH trans?
Having throttle valve linkage and being a 96 indicates RH.
Very different diagnostic procedures for them.

. Wrong, the RE still has throttle pressure cable and '96 was the first year of the RE.
