2012 engine blown - need help

I could use some help/direction in trying to figure out my next steps

I had no warning whatsoever that I was about to lose my engine on Wednesday. I went from highways speeds onto an off ramp, heard some weird noises, and within 10 seconds, went from running fine to engine seizing. No lights popped up on the dash, no fluids leaking from anywhere.
Fast forward to the next day, my mechanic tells me that it looks like my engine “detonated internally”.
I don’t drive the truck hard at all, and do routine maintenance, and am trying to figure out how this happened
2012 Tacoma TRD Sport double cab

any insight from the group would be helpful. Thanks!

 

sounds like a 6k USD fix

 

Basically. I had 149,500 miles. I had no warning whatsoever that this was coming. It just blew up on me. My check engine light didn’t even come on. No leaking fluids anywhere, or anything else wrong to lead to this. Is there any avenues through Toyota USA to look into(recall etc), or is that just a lost cause?

 

With 150k miles. Sorry, but you're on your own.

 

Thanks. I figured as much, but was throwing darts in the dark, hoping for good news, lol.

 

What engine was in your truck?

 

4.0 V6… it’s still there, and for sale if you want it lol

 

As what a boat anchor? If you haul it to my house I’ll let you leave it here for free so I can take it apart and learn more about the 4.0 then I’ll keep whatever might be used for later and get rid of the scrap in exchange.

 

Anyone know of any good scrapyards in the central New Jersey area to source a used engine from?

 

Not Jersey but try sawmill auto wreckers in Yonkers
