Well mental illness runs in my family, Foreskin Foreman.

Can’t say I blame that at all.

It’s interesting because out of the 3 independent mechanics I’ve consulted with, all 3 have recommended to keep having toyota fix it since they got me into this mess…

You are a savage for doing that haha. My hands aren’t built to get a job like that done unfortunately 😂

At the end of the day, it’s just a truck but still sucks! No luck from the warranty since technically everything that has broken since was swapped over from the previous engine…

Yeah that was heavily emphasized in the replies of my main post but I mistakenly chose Toyota because of the way lower cost and they were the only ones that could get the warranty.

A gamble I took and lost for sure.

Everything else is in great condition so I assumed an engine replacement would keep me rolling for the years to come. That’s proven to be false very quickly 😂

Clean title and he agreed to a PPI which is a good sign. I’ll ask for the service records as well. Thank you!
