Here is an update on my GMC.

After filling the oil and watching things closely for two days I took it back the mechanic and explained what happened. We decided to change out the PCV valve.

This week I have driven around 400 miles, 200 of which was pulling my tairler with four cows on board, and it has not burned an ounce of oil. That's good!

I've babied it a lot. I've been carful not to push it and kept the RPMs under 2000.

It was suggested that pushing it, on long trips, pulling a heavy trailer, combined with a bad PCV valve caused the oil to burn off in the catolatic converter. Maybe?

I'll just keep watching and taking it easy on the old truck.

Here's hoping the problem is solved.
