Sorry for your troubles. Best thing is to do some calling around and see who can get you the best price on a GM crate motor. No matter where you buy it the warranty will be the same. The GM and Ford engines are what they call throw away engines. Go to the dealer and they will tell you the same thing.
I would not buy a junk yard engine you will probably end up with the same problem.
Hate to break it to you but the little Cummins was known as a throw away engine long before the Neverstart and Dmax came along. Ford used the throw away Cummins decades ago in their medium duty trucks.
