My truck will smoke when i first start it. smells like chemicals... its white smoke. it'll last maybe a minute then its gone. she drinks oil yet have no leak on the ground. Im estimating about 1/2 to 1 quart a week. the power of this beast has withered.

i am wondering if i've got an injector o-ring fault or a piston ring... any thoughts?

check your fuel filter...if its black you'll need injector o-rings...may as well check your harness' and glo-plugs if you have to open the valve covers

UCV harness and all plugs recently replaced as well as fuel filter.... filter was very dark and polluted... least i think it was dark. i'll check the new filter... so long as i dont have to deal with piston rings... all i see there is a nightmare.
