Excessive crankcase pressure . If in BC , cold climate . Ck for frozen crank vents and pcv system . Moisture can collect and freeze vents and pcv systems . If you have the heated pcv system , ck that it has proper flow of heated coolant to it . If yours does not have one , It may be an upgrade that is available .

After the up-above things broken ring can do that or hole in the piston.
Not happy things to have to thing about. Do a leak down test on it.
If you find one that is leaking a lot then there is you problem.

It's always a sad day with you have to put a faithful truck/car to sleep.
Now the junker that is and always has cost an arm and a leg that is a
different story.
On this one you could just drop in a used motor and sell it to get some $$ back out.
If the body is good and the only problem is the engine.
Just a thought.

But without a engine it turns things around the guy wants the same price because its got a nice factory flatdeck on it and some nice tires.
He says the value is still there but to me it snt by the time I put another engine in it.
To bad, its not a bad looking truck.

You're condemning the truck simply because there's a chance it would need a new engine? How 'bout some diagnosis first? A clogged PCV system could cause the same thing and cost $10 to fix!
