That’s a **bleep** shame, and not a common failure. Triton platform engines spanned about 15 years in all the pickups and longer in chassis cab models and were not prone to low or high miles oil pump failures. And tons of them high miles still working daily at 10-30 years old.
Im presuming oil pump since your post alludes that the oil didn’t leak out or get contaminated with coolant.
At this point, be thankful this is a diy job for you (presuming since you actually have an engine hoist) and just slap a reman or low mile junkyard long block in it and continue to be perplexed why you drew the short straw and lost the engine at extremely low miles.
