2000 Jeep down-grade driving

I have an automatic 3 speed transmission in my 2000 jeep wrangler (4.0) . When driving down-hill it seems to speed up even when the grade is not changing. My 99 Mountaineer holds back better in first gear than my jeep. I had it diagnosed, but nothing showed up as being a problem. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there something I can do about it, other than chaning the transmission.

Thank you, Bryan R

Avoid Gravity.

Or use your brakes.

I have the same transmission in my '99, and it seems to SLOW DOWN when going down most hills. It's bizarre. I think that may be partly why it gets such crappy mileage. I haven't heard of one running faster like that, though.
