1999 dodge ram 1500 sport limp mode?

I just went out and bought my very first ram truck (after owning ford my whole life) it's a 1999 1500 with the 5.9 gasser in it and I abosolitly love this truck! Well at lest I did tell it went limp… I was driving to the lake with a few buddy's on the freeway and I was just crusing at about 75 when al of the sudden my truck high reved and wouldn't go faster then 35-40 I've done some asking and some research it seems like it's the govner presser switch and cylonoid but That's just what I read online. I don't just wanna through parts at it and wast money so any ideas?
Little more In to it.
Around town driving it dose awsome but I'm only geting about 6 mpg and it won't shift out of 2nd gear it just reves about 2500 rpms and wines. I can't go faster then about 45 down hill and it will shift from 2nd to 3rd if I let of the gas but as soon as I go to give it some throttle it will down shift. Could really use some help here
