They aren't known to be fast trucks but bigger tires could make a difference,There's a few different ratios it could have...3.55 4.10..etc
4.10's and 35s shouldn't be too bad but 3.55's would be a dog...probably shift to low and have to downshift anytime you want to speed up
Is it standard or auto trans?

there are other factors ... my truck is a 5.8/c6/4:10 with reg. cab. long box 2wd ...
after test-driving a 5.8/c6/unknown rear end in an ext. cab long box 4wd, my old work truck felt like a racehorse.
stock tires on both, by the way.

like this truck is really slow I was stepping on it and it wasn't moving. there's a crack in the exhaust manifold but I doubt it was that much of a performance difference. it has a stock rear, so probably a 3.55. and yea it is a 5.8, I saw it and drove it. it's an auto tranny
