Default Newbie question...

Hello everyone, I have a redundant question that I'm sure gets asked a lot but if I was to go get 2wd 2500 6.0, which yr truck is the easiest to tune and modify. This truck would serve no other purpose but a toy. I've watched countless videos but none answered this question. Thanks in advance

Which yr models are easiest then? I'm sure there has to be some yr models that a bitch to tune and that's what I'm trying to avoid. If not, then that's awesome. I eventually want to run a hair dryer but trying to take baby steps

Not worth it. Barely any aftermarket. They make less HP than a 4.8 stock.
