4x4 Sluggish

Just Stepped Up To A 4x4 Psd From A 2wd. Has Anyone Else Felt That The 4x4 Is Sluggish. I Know There Is Weight Issues And A Transfer Case But Boy It Doesnt Seem The Same. Tell Me To Get Over It, That Its Normal Or Something. Thanks

I don't know how to compare it....I've always had a 4x4. But....it is quit a bit heavier that's for sure. We kinda lumber along.....not super fast....but man, what power.

togrey is right... lots more lbs. to move down the road... also... if your new psd has a wastegate, dissable the actuator, (simply unhook the vaccum tube going to it and plug the end of the tube). this simple little mod helped my 4x4 build boost quicker which gave my mule a lot more giddyup..! As one very wise post master in here told me, the giddyup was already there, it was just being wasted by the gate...!
