I have seen this twice in my years at a dealership. The oil pump screen getting clogged with sludge on a magnum. I believe this is from letting a blown out plenum gasket go too long and probably a little lack of regular maintenance. My 450K mile 5.2 was clean as a whistle but i kept up on the maintenance and replaced the plenum gasket twice I think.
