a gallon a day? and no smoke or leaks man i dont know whats up with that, good luck, hope ya got a deal on the truck!! Welcome to the ORG

so your truck goes through 4 quarts a day if that is happening don't drive your truck don't want to hurt it anymore. take it back and get it fixed if possiable if you can't then the problem needs to be found. but if there is no leaks and nothing coming out of the exhaust. than I don't know where the oil is going.

MY 99.5 was doing the same thing, using a TON of oil with no leaks and no noticable/excessive smoke, i took it into the shop and it was pronounced dead. you probably are burning it...start it and take the oil cap off, see if it dont spray oil all over the place. you might be lookin at a rebuild. when i pulled my engine apart, 4 of the cylinders were full of engine oil/fuel.

stroker, it wasnt smokin blue at all before you tore it down?

If not oil Leak, ya gotta be burning it.

It has to go somewhere.

Sounds like time for a rebuild!

it was.... when i would get on it hard it would... but cruising you could hardly notice/see it.

[Farmboy444]

when youd get on it was it very noticeable or not really bad, at night if someone is following my on a low setting and i get on it you can see some blue but not really any during the day
