Engine shut off while driving

Got my Tundra back after 100 days at the dealer. They replaced the engine with a short block, so not ideal but at least the engine turns again. Seems to run like new but will certainly keep an eye on it for issues. They showed me the cost for all the work on my truck they're sending to Toyota on my truck, just under $37,000 with parts and labor. Glad I didn't need to pay a dime!
Was a little surprised to see the description on the paperwork, says "found significant debris passed through oiling system", I know that is what they recall says but with all the news/videos floating around I wasn't 100% sold that was the root cause, but based on the tech's description I guess now I believe it.

Bearing failures typically happen over a period of time which allows for debris to be scattered throughout the engine. That may have contributed to what the tech was seeing in addition the potential debris left by the factory.

That is the most ridiculous cost to replace a motor. I would not own one of these trucks out of warranty even if this bearing issue never happened. Eventually an owner will have to replace a motor...

its certainly a consideration for the purchase of the 10 year , 125k and then after that its decision time for the mid 24 and before the new parts were swapped

Absolutely.

To be honest, there are not many new vehicles out there I would own after warranty if engines were a concern.

LS9- 22k
LS7-18k
Predator- 30k

imo, any new vehicle is a extended warranty purchase , it is what it is, things are more complicated

edit: hell, my extended more than paid for itself with my 2016 platinum tundra, ecu and fuel pump and poof , big money

You aren't wrong. People forget that too. I have an old co-worker that blew a 3.5L Ecoboost and it was just cheaper to sell the vehicle as a parts vehicle and buy something else.

Thanks for the update - I am in the same boat with a short block replacement in progress.
