What causes Transmission to lose power in 5th gear in 95 jeep wrangler?

The transmission doesn't lose power, but it quits getting power if the clutch starts slipping. Without going into detail about the physics of a clutch, the most energy is being transferred through the clutch when in the highest gear thus it is fifth gear where slipping is first noticed. My guess is its time for a new clutch.

Why does diesel engine lose RPMs going uphill?

Any engine will lose RPM going up a hill, its called gravity and the engine has to overcome it. The heavier the vehicle the more RPM you lose. Thats also why transmissions have all the extra gears. Lower gear equals more pulling power and less speed, higher gear is less pulling power and more speed.
