*MADE INTO IT'S OWN TOPIC - BEHINDBLUEI'S**
You'd never miss carbs again if you experienced the same truck with a properly configured pedal commander, or one that was re-tuned to totally do away with the drive-by-wire pedal 'commanded throttle' and 'actual throttle' mapping. Modern tech and a 1:1 pedal:throttle mapping is very impressive for throttle response and control. Sadly most OEM's tune DBW pedals to be basically nothing for the first 20% of pedal travel, then maybe something in the middle from 20-70%(ish) and then finally above 70% throttle it'll go 'okay, okay, I'll give you some power'. The reasons why are obvious to anyone who's driven in traffic in the past 10 years.
Edit: Carbs on big ass V8's will always sound and smell perfect in their own right, but that's best enjoyed on an old enthusiast car and not in a workhorse truck these days.
