Do these have that disc that sits in the center like the earlier Versions???
Any Damage to the convertor???

Those look like fatigue cracks due to constant flexing. Id make sure the transmission was seated to the engine correctly and flush. Also no debris or anything stuck between the converter and flex plate or transmission and engine. Just a small amount of continuous flex due to a misalignment can do that
Yea, same as all the others. Big spacer/washer.

I didn't see any issues taking it apart. Not sure what to think

Nope, that was assumption all along but they were tight.

How did that look when it came off? Was it seated properly when you went to remove it?
It was installed correctly and everything. It has all the break/crack marks on it. I'll post that tomorrow

I can remember seeing that on higher-hp trucks in the past, but not stock. Did anything else seem odd when you took it apart again?
EDIT: you answered that earlier.
Must've just been fatigue from use.

Any idea where the heat marks on the flex plate came from? Theres two spots that look like they got hit with a torch. Could have harden there, cracks started and bye bye
It does look like that but that could be from the friction while running it. He actually drove like this for a while, towing snowmobiles. An employee did this job from start to finish in Aug, he's quit Dec 31. But even if he took a torch to the flywheel bolt heads I don't think it gets spots like that.

If he did torch them, it would have been with a map gas torch.

Definitely a “who came first, chicken or egg” situation. I can see how it could be either way. Since it junk, could try hitting it with the mapp gas and see how long it takes to turn it color
While they do look like heat marks, the HAZ looks too small or narrow to me for a MAP gas torch. Maybe a quick mig or tig on the backside. But that would be obvious.
Maybe take a sharpened punch and with some light hammer taps, see if any of those spots seem harder or softer then the rest. Not too accurate but maybe enough to tell the difference
I'm going to stick with the transmission not being perfectly flush with the engine.

That is more what I expected the HAZ to look like. The previous one is too small makes me suspicious if it even is heat relatedAnd this is after map gas torching directly on flexplate for 20 seconds

Can you tell if there is a hardness difference between the torched areas and unaffected?
