Engine Failure at 35k

OP, I found you a donor motor, should swap right in.

 

another case of TW Post Traumatic buyers syndrome

 

Lol they aren’t using used parts for the repair

 

What movie is this Patton Oswalt gif from?

 

Oh man this hit home. I had that happen to me in my 2004 TL. Outside of that though, the car was a tank.

 

Fix it and then trade it in. That motor will have issues forever. Good luck with it, I truly hope it all works out for you.

 

What makes you think it will have issues forever? I don't think there is anyone on this forum that can predict the future. Do you know how many replaced valves, rebuilt heads, honed cylinders, etc. there are still running in this world? Keep in mind, this job is not going to the oil change guy or the tire guy, this is going to the high paid, trained and retrained, certified technician.

 

Dude can I get this weeks power ball numbers?

 

It will blow up and pieces will fly out the side of the block in a fiery death. Just you wait and see.

 

6 9 12 5 3 and maybe 48.

 

Toyota knew they were minivan customers in the first place. They just shaped it into a Tacoma and added doors bwahahaha

 

I’ve seen a truck come back like this, stuck in the low side letting er coast down a hill. Let the clutch out in a panic to try and slow down, disintegrate the bell housing, see the pass side tire through the block from the driver side. Holes in the hood and cab that looked like someone was shooting a gun from underneath it. Tires all full of engine parts and flat along with the cars behind it. Truly a work of art
It was a 60 Series Detroit in a Freightliner though.

 

the first stage of TW Derangement Syndrome is I had a problem with my truck and they fixed it under warranty should I sell my truck?

 

It will look just like this.

 

Those head studs are only "torque to yield" and "required" when it's on your dime. Toyota is no different than any other make when pinching pennies on warranty repairs, and one of the worst when it comes to flat out denying a problem. Those reused head studs will get you out of warranty and beyond. Case closed as far as they're concerned, however, if you had approached them for a paid repair it would have been a different story.

 

In this case. I would consider paying for new studs. Is it just parts expense? If cheap - I’d ask them to use new studs and pay parts cost.

 

My Toyota blew up and killed me at 35,000 miles. OUTRAGEOUS
