Transmission acting strange

Hey everyone, my name is Eric and I am new here, some background​ on the truck, I bought it about a months ago when I went to drive it home it would hesitate to go into gear for a second but once it did it drove fine, drove it about 30 miles home with no issues, all the fluids were fine. The truck sat for a couple weeks and when I went to move it Now and all forward gears go forward, I put it in reverse and it acts like it is stuck in 2 gears, it lurches forward and locks up, it won't rev passed 13-1500 rpm, when I put it in park it does the same thing, it is an 02 Dakota 3.9 automatic 4x4, the 4x4 engages and disengages. This has me really stumped. I am by no means a transmission guy at all, just remove and replace, I do all my own work and very mechanically able, I have rebuilt several engines just never got into transmissions, if the trans is toast I am thinking about a 5 speed swap in it. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance
