It is mandated by the federal government the dealer can not refuse unless you have modified the exhaust or the engine.
anyone who says stuff like this should not be trusted to start with gm actually states that code can be caused by a faulty 02 code along with a list of other options I worked for a gm dealer and in three years I seen I cat on a 5.3 get replaced and it was misdiagnosed from this code and it was just an 02 sensor

I ended up adding a spacer to one of the o2 sensors and the code cleared.
