Default have a few issues...

i have a few problems and a few questions for upgrades... first thing

i happen to have an odd hesitation in the ol truck from a get go on colder starts and first starts of the day...like when i throttle it seems to cut in and out for a sec then finally throttles clean, even if i floor it, it still stutters. whats the issue?

whats the stock power level of the 5.2l and whats the best to pick it up like 50 hp...maybe even 100...

ok here is the odd upgrade question...i like my truck and want to keep it, its paid off and easier to build up, the thing is the transfer case...am i able to swap in one of the newer ones that is switch activated over the lever activated one? i like to newer turn **** setup and i would like to have the space by the floor to make my custom console center seat piece...?
