Yeah... that oil consumption gem would have been nice to know a long time ago. That motor is too far gone. Sell it and get a Z71.

Didn't think you would answer that one. If it's indeed sucking THAT much oil would mean the lower intake is full of oil, it'll hold a couple quarts. Running with the intake full of oil will create suction, an incredible amount of it. In turn, the engine will fight against itself to run. I've asked you to take pictures of the top of the engine, so we could get a look at your connections, and you refuse. You choose to throw more parts at it instead. You don't follow through.
Good luck, but I think you finally cooked it.

That is far too much oil going somewhere. How many miles would you guess your truck covers in a week? I lose about a quart every 1500 miles due to bad cam cover gaskets but it shows at the seams.
Humor me here, what is your fuel pressure at idle? You check it at the Schrader valve on the driver side fuel rail.
Also if you were burning that much oil you would have an exhaust cloud following you everywhere. Get some white posterboard and lay it under your truck with bricks or rocks on the corners and let your truck idle for 30 min or so. You have to figure out where the oil is going or replace the engine.

Well... here's the thing Skylar... Again, you withheld pertinent information that would help resolve your issue. You tell about 10% of the story and want an answer. You have become a parts changer because of this. You change parts that have nothing to do with the problem, and wonder why it's not fixed. You would be held in contempt of court with your actions. Try to see where we are coming from. You waste our time by giving partial information.

Driving the wheels offer
So you drive 150 miles a week. Oil is costing you $25/week, based on your other threads, gas costs $100/week. You're also throwing parts at it at some rate. If all that is true, you could be making payments on a brand new truck instead and probably saving money.

Dont rely on your dash oil pressure gauge- its nothing but a glorified idiot light- to get true oil pressure you have to tee into the system and add a mechanical gauge.

Ok if you can smell the oil and there isn't a cloud following you then after you have driven it park with it running and look at your exhaust manifolds for oil on them. I'm hoping you have a blown out gasket but don't throw any more money at parts until you find the leak. I'm not sure where you are from but you could have a shop put a used engine in there for less than 1k if yours is bad.
The oil gauge inside isn't good for an actual reading. It really only tells you that you have oil pressure or not. If it falls flat then something is already wrong.
If there is no oil in the valley under the intake or running down your block then I would be thinking compression test as a next step to see if you have any dead cylinders.
