Happens because GM changed the flexplate design
and took some "meat" out of it. If you have the
trans off, switch to an earlier year flexplate like
I did. Or a fancier one, but the early stocker seems
to be adequate. Look up "crack flexplate", more than
a few instances reported here.

The TCI SF29 flexplate is the way to go, both Jeg's and Summit sells them for $199. I replaced mine in my 01 Z28 when I did the TC change, you will need longer bolts though.
It is the 01 & 02's that have the thinner plates.

What about 6.0L plates or other truck plates? Are they different than the 5.7L plates? I would imagine they'd be a little thicker.
