[QUOTE="Mikloangelo, post: 29603, member: 13767"] Decided it was time to go to my lease and do a bit of work and give me a warn and fuzzy about the engine. Drove 93 miles to my moms house to stay the night. In the morning, I had a low oil light. Added two quarts and then drove 40 miles to get my Tractor (7800lbs with trailer) and drive it 70 miles to my lease. Next day I drove another 45 mins to pick up a deer blind and back. On the way back to the lease I had to add another quart of oil. Then 133miles back home. Total trip was probably 500 miles. The truck seems to burning oil. Hard starts with blue/white smoke. Once going all is well but would occasionally want to stall at red lights accompanied with the smoke. Im guessing the rings arent set yet since the rebuild. Oil dip stick shows the oil looks good as far as color and not milky (in case of coolant in the oil). Fuel pressure is good. I thought i needed another tune with the hard starts but the burning oil has me a bit worried especially since ive worked the engine towing . I plan on installing a catch can to maybe help with the smoke. I havent had time to look at spark plug, but im almost certain they are fouled. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
