Chevy truck '02 surges between 45 and 55 mph

My 2002 Chevy Silverado performs the same way. It surges also between 45-55 mph. It loses power and idles down. Rpm tachometer jumps up and down. So far I have changed the spark plugs/wires, ingnition coils, maf sensor, throttle body cleaned, cleaned the fuel injectors and changed the auto control valve,changed the fuel filter. Check engine light does not come on. Checked all the codes, came up with nothing. Truck still doing the same thing.

02 chevy 4.3 from idle hesitates under acceleration but quikly smooths out

Hello
The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL THE DIAGNOSIS & TESTING IS COMPLETED.

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 ext. cab/short bed. The 5.3l engine surges and sometimes falters (+- 150 rpm) between 30-58 mph in high gear under a slight load. There is no surging or faltering...

is it a automatic because it sounds like the lockup converter try changing the fluid and add a friction modifier napa sells different ones per manufacture
