Made it to 79,687 miles!

I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones. Nope haha I had no issues until this point and then all of a sudden knock knock knock. I brought it to the dealership and they said my tundra is going to be there for a month before I get a new engine because my VIN isn’t scheduled for a replacement engine yet.

 

Damn, man. That sucks. Are they giving you a loaner or are they doing a rental?

 

Welcome from NY.
Hopefully they gave you a loaner car.

 

What month was your Tundra born in?

 

Bummer :/

 

Do they reset your ODO when you get a new engine? Sounds like it may work out for you pretty good then if you're getting a brand new replacement after 80k. Other than having to drive a loaner for 4 weeks, what's the downside?

 

No. That would be odometer fraud.

 

You got good mileage out of that engine. That's what I call reliability! Almost 80k on one engine!

 

DANG!!!
And it's brand new for the most part!!!
At least it sounds like Toyota is stepping up and doing the right thing.

 

Wish I couldve gone that long before the swap. My engine didnt blow, but I just said f it and had it done at around 37k. 11/21 build date...maybe I got one of the first engines out there with a vin ending in 1040

 

A 2nd odometer for the new engine would be good for resale. Not legal but helpful
.

 

Downside: new engine fails in 12,001 or more miles.

Toyota says hah hah so sad to be you.
