A hole in the side of the front motor.

[Heliian]

The oil that cools the motors runs thru a cooler, the motor failed. A piece of the motor drilled a hole in the side cover.

The coolant runs front to back, the oil runs through a heat exchanger in the motor and stays(normally) in the motor. If the exchanger is intact then there is no contamination outside of the motor. If the exchanger fails you will end up with coolant in the oil. It sounds like your coolant system is still intact.

Hope you get your new motor in and running in a timely fashion and hopefully it's a rarity.

Yes your right thanks for the correction, it's the coolant that is contaminated with metal shavings.

Google lemon law and the state you purchased the truck from

Planetary gear set housing ....hmmmmm!

Failure part didn't breach heat exchanger, but yes the residual oil is contaminated with metal.
The internal oil pump is contaminated, but I'd speculate there was no oil & coolant cross contamination occuring at the heat exchanger.

Did you notice they have the front suspension hanging on the abs wires?

Not until you pointed it out.

Dealer response: "It's OK. We call them ABS cables"
