Didn't notice what year your truck was, but if it has a 5.9L gas engine, there is a sheet metal guide for the dipstick spot welded to the inside of the oil pan. It may have come loose, allowing the dipstick to pass between the guide and the oil pan, resulting in binding and improper gauging of the oil level.
