Default A/C Problems / Airflow cuts in/out with acceleration

I have a 88 Jeep Cherokee pioneer 2 wheel drive, 4 door.

It cools and heats pretty good but when i get up to say 35mph+ the airflow goes down or to nothing.

I was told its probably
the blower motor solid state resistor module.

Which in mine is a black box thing under the dash or the front passenger.

So... is that it, does it need to be replaced?

I don't want to spend alot of money so I need to know exactly what it is so i can save and fix it here in a month or 2.

The blower motor sounds like the culprit.

I don't think driving speed would effect the blower motor speed. Are the dash vents reverting back to the defrost vents under acceleration? If so, a new vacuum check valve may be needed.
