They do not know why it happened. Maybe overtorqued bolts, maybe it was dropped during assembly. They will be tearing into the heads in the morning & i'll know more then. I was told if something else caused it to break, then toyota will more than likely send out a new motor.
Should i demand a new motor?
Or, should i demand an extended warranty?
I feel like i should be concerned with future potential problems. And i think i should demand something.
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Demand a new motor? I would atleast! If it were me i would demand a new truck! Have you done anything extreme with the truck lik lots of towing or towing before break in period? How many miles do you have on it? Glad i sprung for the extended warranty
