    Since the mods keeping deleting my post, I'll just list the failure.

    Whelp. The unthinkable happened and the engine in my 2nd gen died/ seized likely due to the driver's side timing chain tensioner letting loose. 220k miles on the clock. I put so much time and effort into this truck and intended on keeping it until the wheels fell off. I tried to find a new/ refurbed engine for a swap, but all of them void their warranties if I install the TRD supercharger. Getting a used engine isn't what I want to do.
    So, I'm letting her go, the bright side being I have a 2024 Limited Crewmax with iForce Max and 6.5' foot bed arriving in 37 days. Not looking forward to a car payment again and everything that comes with a new vehicle, but I haven't bought a brand new car since 2007. I am excited though.

    Dang - sorry to see this!

    How many of the 220k were with the blower?

    And what are you doing with the blower?

    Man, that makes 2 of us. Haven't had a new car since 07, not sure I'm looking forward to a 2024 or newer vehicle for me.

    Somewhere between 10k and 15k miles probably. I'll know for sure if I had my maintenance records in front of me. Blower sale is pending.
