Default 4.7 feels slower then it should be

Hey whats going on i got new questions everyday, Guess thats what you get from the new noobs. Anyways i drive a 2004 QC 4.7. 4x4 w/22's, And iv never done a tune up that might be the problem. But since iv bought it it seems to lack power. hope it's not all in my head. And on the high way in cruise/c im always going into O/d like my 5th gear is only made for down hill lol. anyways if anyone has any ideas please let me know. thanks

have you ever cleaned your throttle body? also what gears do you have? if you have 3.55s that might be part of the reason since you have 22s

you would need this plus install and at a shop. usually for a 4x4 gears are about a 1600-1800 dollar mod.

idk it depends on your area for the install? do you have a 4wheelparts by you? well you can do the basics which would be cai, tuner, exhuast.
