Message: [QUOTE="Austintacious, post: 1546316, member: 32700"] Ok so now I'm stumped. I replaced the fuel filter before leaving TX and the whole trip back the old girl didn't burn a single drop of oil. I pulled the filter right after i got back and it was as clean as when i put it in new. 2 weeks of normal driving later and no oil burning and the filter is still clean. The truck still blows smoke but only when accelerating now. before it was blowing smoke constantly even while just idling. it was so bad it looked like I was coal rolling while taking off and down shifting. the only difference on the return trip was I wasn't pulling anything. I only had a 16' flatbed with my sister's rav4 and a brush hog on it. probably 6000lbs all together. but again, the truck seemed to be running fine other than the powerful thirst for rotella t on the way down. I would think if it was the injector o-rings, I would still be seeing oil in the fuel bowl. I had read online that some 7.3 owners that put upgraded turbos on their truck will have the new turbo actually suck oil out of the crankcase thru the ccv. I didn't slap a monster turbo on mine but it definitely is pulling more boost than the stocker. anything else anyone can think of? Truck has 184k on it and the engine is mostly stock other than the turbo and exhaust. [/QUOTE]
