Because we know what we're talking about. You aren't going to get what you want out of a 4.8 in a 4x4. The end.Quote:

The 4.8 is a high revving motor, why that design was built for a truck is beyond me, but that's not the point. The sooner you get it into it's powerband the better, or yes it will feel like a dog. Again, gears and a higher stalling torque converter.
or smaller tires
ok, then another crappy GM design, screw that! a high revving engine, and a heavy body.... How much can i get for my truck? ECSB, 143K 4.8 two tone, Z71 pkg. AR 20" rims mud terrains. Or would it be better selling off at an public auction?
GM, Ford, Jeep, Dodge, etc..... Don't matter what it is, bigger tires need GEARS.
20's aren't helping either.
