yeah dude... these trucks are torque monsters and tanks... this is what the HUMVEE was based on...
plus they do weigh over 4000 lbs... almost 5K actually...
the most nimble & quick 4x4 I ever owned, or even drove, was a 95 grand Cherokee with the 318 V8.... almost 1000 lbs lighter than this truck and several feet smaller (length + width)
if you REALLY want better throttle response and more punch youll need to upgrade the torque converter and re-gear.... but it will never be "racecar"
I will say though that the most noticeable thing I have ever done to free up HP and make throttle response jump... was... deleting the mechanical for an electric fan....
