My 89 2.6L 2WD Ram 50 is losing oil very frequently, like, after filling, about 2 weeks down the road I'm almost out of oil. Im not burning oil because the exaust isn't blue, I'm sure, and there are no puddles being left underneath the truck where I park it. Anybody got any ideas on why I'm losing so much oil in a short amount of time?

Well, one place you can check would to pull all sparkplugs for inspection for oil contamination. Another place to check would be around the oil pan and filter. Even though there isnt oil under your truck doesnt mean its not leaking it out. Also there is a plate that comes off with like 4 10mm bolts under the motor. 2 bolts go up into the block and the other two go into the trans.
