Most likely because the owner did a pulley, intercooler or intake system upgrade with no catch can allowing carbon and filter oil junk it up. Or they can tell by the tires in the front are bald to the rear = abuse. So many variables.

You know how much it cost Toyota for an Eaton M45/M62 unit? ~$300.. It'd cost you $1200 to replace.

You know how much a vortech unit cost a dealer? $~1400. It'd cost you $2200-2500 to replace.

I'd pick Eaton for price but I'd rather have a Vortech for efficiency, simplicity and bigger power.
