Default 2003 Silverado RPM Fluctuation?

On my 2003 Silverado, my rpms go up about 100-200 rpms and drops back down every few seconds when I’m going around 45-50 mph. It usually happens on flat road. What causes this. It almost feels like the torque converter locking and unlocking. The truck drives very well otherwise.

Does your rig do that if you stay out of the overdrive gear? How many miles does your Chevrolet pickup have on the clock?
