Unless the shop somehow screwed up the timing chain I don't see how they could have caused the engine failure just by changing the trans.

This post was made in the LD9 2.4 section of the forums. A 3500 swap would be a total pain and cost more. He'd need a 4t45e with the correct bellhousing pattern as well.
