Would emissions delete get rid of coolant bypass valve issue?

There is a TSB on the valves TSB Here. I know this isn't a warm fuzzy, but I have a RAM sitting in the yard that has been waiting for it's version for 2 months. There are some dealers that have them in stock, my mechanic grabbed one from Van in Arizona. For some reason dealers no longer ship between dealers, and this is not unique to GM, but exists across the board.
An emissions delete won't fix the issue, and while I am not a fan of emissions, if your in Cali, own any property, registered to vote there, earn any income that is reported to the FTB, if someone jumps on the CHP Website and reports the vehicle is in Cali and registered in AZ, don't be surprised if a DMV Investigator snoops around. Cali gives you 20 days, and they will use the voter reg, FTB payroll taxes, property where the vehicle is parked, as evidence you were evading Cali Registration as required by law. The I have property in another state doesn't work, you are earning income in Cali, so you are considered a Cali resident. You won't know until a letter shows up in your mailbox from DMV giving you 30 days to register the vehicle in Cali, with a $$ amount, detailing the fees, interest, and late penalties, followed by a letter from CARB sending you to a Smog Referee for an inspection.
Let's say you blow off the letter, a month goes by, nothing, then one morning a knock at the front door, a CHP Officer, DMV Investigator, and a tow truck. CHP will hand you a Court Order allowing them to impound the vehicle for fees due. They will tow the vehicle to an impound yard, have a CARB inspection done, and then tell you it can't be driven in Cali, you have 2 choices, have it towed out of state, or have it towed to a certified smog mechanic to have the emissions system repaired or replaced. Don't ask me how I know.
