Truck doesnt seem to have much power
So ive had this truck for a few weeks and coming from a GMC which felt like had lots of power this truck just doesnt have a lot get up and go. Ive ordered a programmer plus S&B intake but before I put them on I was wondering if there might be something wrong with it. Granted I know Ill see a difference once intake and programmer is on but just seems under powered as of now so I dont want to put this stuff on it just to get it back up to normal power incase something is wrong. Thanks for any help.

You are grossly undergeared. That plus increase in rotational inertia and static mass the rolling stock incurs, the stock ETC delays, suboptimal shiftpoints, etc, it's no wonder.
However - going over the entire truck maintenance-wise is never a bad idea. Fresh plugs, front O2's, fuel filter, clean MAF & TB, and so on .....

Thanks the the input. I'll check the maintenance items hopefully it will help. I know the tires and wheels are some of it but on my 07 gmc I had 35"s on 18"s and it would flat still move.

Ford's stock PCM calibrations are strictly Soccer Mom tunes.
With proper gearing and a good set of custom tunes yer truck will come alive.
Best o' luck.
