Not trying to be a jerk or anything but you did bolt the converter to the flex plate didn’t you, don’t ask me how I know it won’t move without the flex plate bolts on.
I’m going to second the eBay reply, I’ve found some really obscure parts there, just beware of dirt cheap prices on supposedly the exact same part. I always purchase through PayPal for the protection.
That is correct a proper delete would require replacing the cam and lifters and valley cover just to name a few, if the have the correct software and interface they can turn it off.
It would depend on what shape the rest of it is in. I had an ‘08 Z-71 Sierra that runs great but really bad rusty. I chose to sell it as is and use the money to buy a ’14 Silverado instead of spending the money to fix the rust. 2k plus labor to replace it with a used one isn’t bad. I would replace the rear main and oil pump and probably delete the AFM before putting it in if I was going to keep it.
