What causes your 95 Saturn SC2 to slip out of overdrive going uphill?

It's normal for a vehicle to drop out of overdrive when it's under a severe load like going up hill or a lot of weight in it. That helps the engine to maintain speed and keeps the transmission from running hot. The ECM moniters the actions of the car and driver inputs and makes a decision automatically.

When to turn off overdrive in your car?
The overdrive should be switched off when you want to avoid unneccessary shifting. If you are driving on a hilly road, the vehicle will shift out of overdrive going uphill to maintain speed while pulling the vehicles weight up the hill, and shift into overdrive going down the hill to save fuel when additional engine power is not needed. When towing with an automatic transmission, the vehicle may tend to repeatedly shift in and out of overdrive due to the added weight. In scenerios such as these, you should turn off the overdrive to avoid the unneccesary shifting which puts more wear and tear on the transmission.

What causes 1992 gmc safari van to run bad and lose power going uphill?
Is the vehicles transmission downshifting to a lower gear as you go uphill? If not, that would be your first place to look. After that I would suspect that your engine timing is not autmatically advancing as it should be.
