Crawls up any grade?

[hippiegypsy]

My '95 1500 4X4 5.9 automatic broke down on me today ): It began losing power on upgrades recently and today wouldn't go faster than 20 mph up a long upgrade. When the tranny dropped down it began bucking until I backed off on the throttle. On the flat and downhill there wasn't a problem. I had to stop for traffic on Hwy 101 (s. Oregon coast) to let traffic by and it started off okay and then started jerking or crawling around 20 mph. What do you think is wrong? My catalytic converter is also going out.
