Exactly. The only truck that motor had good power in was a little 2wd.
You have a great vehicle and the motor with last forever its just your truck is a pig. Very Heavy. Not much you can do about that. Just live with it.
You can dump all kinds of money into it but what for, it'll still be slow. You could spend over $1000 bucks and get all the power mods possible and it will still be slow. Save your money and drive it, and when it blows up at 300,000 miles put a bigger motor in it.
