i agreeWow, sounds like both engines kicked a rod. It is really weird to have that happen at all, let alone with two trucks at the same shop. Did you have the oil changed at that shop? I'm wondering if they perhaps didn't fill the oil enough or if they used the wrong oil. (But sheesh, pretty much ANY motor oil would prevent that from happening under normal use.)
I'm also wondering if OVER-filling could have caused this. I've heard of dealers putting 6 quarts into Gladiators because they assume they're the same as the Wrangler. Theoretically, too much oil can cause the crankshaft to whip air into the oil. And when oil is full of air, it doesn't lubricate very well.
