Think I solved the problem!
A few weeks ago, I was dumbfounded as to why my truck was burning a little oil. I talked to a diesel mechanic a few wdays ago, and he said that sometimes it can be caused by dirty injectors. I used Gumout diesel injector cleaner and the truck hasn't burned anything except for diesel fuel. Anybody else ever have this dilemna?

You put some fuel treatment into the fuel tank and now your engine is not using any oil?
The only thing that I can think of is it swelled the o-rings between the fuel rail and the oil rail on the injectors and sealed them back up. IMO not a good thing. The "fix" won't last long as IMO the o-rings are now softer and more prone to tearing under the HPOP pressure.
