Engine Failure
I have a '10 6.4L w/ 85,000 miles and recently blew the engine. Coolant levels were fine, and it gave me no indication that anything was going on. I was in stop in go traffic pulling my 5th wheel when the temp spiked and immediately returned to normal. When I went to move off the road, the engine blew. The tech is saying that my EGR blew apart. Can someone explain to me how this could have happened and how/why didn't I get any type of warning that there was an issue

I am assuming you mean EGR cooler? The coolers can blow like that without any real warning. Usually you have signs of impending failure like losing coolant, maybe some white smoke from the exhaust, sometimes puking from the coolant degas bottle. But sometimes they just fail.
Did they say what in the engine failed?
