Default 2002 xlt 4x4 auto trans upgrades beed help

K guys I need help I have a 5 speed auto trans 4x4 that when driving I believe it's not going to 5th gear. At 60 mph it's stays around 23-2600 rpms... With that being said is it working or not.. I want to perhaps upgrade to a new trans with more gears if I can but no little of things.. From what I no sofar there's little to upgrade with can any one help? If I can get a 6 or better speed that would be great.

with 4.10s at 60 you should be around 2000-2200.
I run ~2250 at 60.
4.0 auto 4.10s

if you change the rear gears you have to do the same up front and no there is not another trans

3.73s should lower RPMs to under 2k on the highway but it would be a very long time before you see a ROI from gas savings
