Default P0740 trouble code

I just got this code 2 days ago on my jeep, while driving cruise will not work and it wants to stay in 3rd instead of shifting into overdrive. In the past 2 days it did run fine 2 times with no problems at all. I know this is a torque converter clutch circuit trouble code, but I've seen some odd fixes for this. I do have a 4 inch rough country lift on it, with off road 265/75/16 inch tires if that would affect it. I honestly don't have much experience working on this, because it's been a great vehicle so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What year? What engine?
P0740 is a Torque converter clutch issue, often a solenoid or the associated wiring. The rest of it sorta depends on what you have.

It's a 99 with the 4.0 engine and the AW4 transmission.

I disco'd and clean all wiring and connections to and from the transmission and replaced the TPS. So far all is good with it but it's only been driven one day.
