I would say use the search function this has been covered (no joke) at least 100 times. There are so many posts on the th400/6.2 combo and problems that are common. First do you know how the shifting controls work on the cucv? If not your going to be in trouble. Get your self a shop manual and read up, also the TM's are a great place to look for info on your problem.
It sounds like a couple of different things are/could be wrong. #1 Governor is stuck/worn. #2 valve body is stuck. #3 the shift modulator is stuck or has full vacuum and is acting like you are at WOT. #4 The TPS is broke and sending full vacuum to the shift modulator and the trans is thinking your at WOT all the time.

If the tranny fluid is low, it is going to do damage to the tranny quick so that needs to be corrected first. After that you can start troubleshooting further if needed.

WOT=wide open throttle

The TM's for the cucv, are in the resource section, here on the site. Download and save them to your computer(fastest way).

First check if its in 2wd. When I got my m1008, my friends and i could figure out why it wasnt going into 2nd (or 3rd). It was in 4w-low. After we unstuck the transfer case shifter and put it in 2wd-hi, it shifted fine, then went back to 4wd to see if the hubs worked. I tell you what, at about 3/4 throttle, when it shifts to 2nd, it feel like its going to break your neck! Got to love those t400's and torque!
