check the hose for blockage which is pcv return and it may be a gasket rubberon intake has slipped causing a vacuum leak. I assume truck has been scanned for codes and fuel pressure h as been checked with a gauge

I believe there may be a bulletin out for this issue. Using redesigned valve covers to correct the oil consumption issue.

truck must sit 15 minutes prior to checking oil per one tsb and on level ground as well as the pcv system must be checked for blockage which I've already sent the pic of where the hose is. The other tsb is essentially the same it just covers towing and higher rpm 3000 and above wil give you heavier oil ususage. IF not good do a consumption test on it.
