major oil consumption!!

ok my truck just recently after pulling a car on a trailer started burning oil bretty bad. it went through 6 qts in a week. my buddy who used to work at international said it may be my injector o-rings or the internals of the injectors thats causeing it to burn it. but i just put in used injectors before winter so i would think the o-rings would be good since i replaced them with new ones. also i have the 10k resistor mod on my truck and when i take tghe resistor out now the truck lopes real bad and has no power. so it pretty much wont run without the resistor in now. i have it set up for my old set of injectors to get rebuilt by jim at the end of the month but i just want to be sure (or as sure as i can be) that it is the injectors. this truck doesnt leak so its not leaking any out.
also i run waste motor oil and transmission fluid with my fuel so checking the fuel bowl is out of the question.
thanks!

On the injectors you put in used what code injectors were they? AA, AO, AB or AD? From the sounds of the lope you put in AB or AD which are split shot injectors which would fit the lope.

Oil consumption as long as its not coming out the tail pipe (bad turbo) then Injector orings would be the next thing to do.

Ok AO should not cause I lope. If you have an auto trans try starting the truck in nuetral.

If you are ready have a injectors built and install them. Then see what your oil consumption does.
