    I recently blew up my 2016 Toyota Tacoma, going to try and have it warrantied out and get a new motor, but if that doesn’t work, should I put a different motor with more power or should I put another factory motor in it?

    You could probably stuff a Cummings BT6 in there. Not sure it would be worth the effort or money though.
