the truck is the wifes and has been very well maintained. when driving you dont have to touch the gas pedal and it wants to accelerate. when checking hoses for a vacuum leak i pulled the oil filler tube cap off and the pressure comming out of the crankcase was crazy. I'm thinking a broken piston ring but there are no noises or excessive oil consumption.

Check for a bad PCV valve.
