Took my pickup into the shop that did the timing belt today and had them check to make sure the timing belt was on correctly. They say it was and the timing was dead on. As for the oil burning - they said that they did a compression test, a leak down and pressure tested my cooling system. Compression was great & leak was less than 10%. No sign of exhaust gasses in coolant and cooling system did not leak. They did a cold start and said that the smoke was just condensation burning off... I am pretty sure I know the difference and if it's just condensation where is all of my oil going????? I am burning one qt per 1000 miles!!! The mechanic recommended BG44k engine cleaner. I usually avoid additives like the plague - but I'll put it up for debate (I do have the signature sticky lifter clicking at start up - maybe It'd clear that up). I take the truck to my trusted mechanic tomorrow and I'll just have to wait and see what he says...
