Are you 100% it's not fuel in the valley? At 7mpg you're pumping a helluva lot of fuel out somewhere. And seriously, have you checked the drain valve on the fuel filter bowl?

How sure are you its oil? Could it be fuel mixing with oil sludge?

All that fuel is going somewhere though, I can't imagine where without it being completely obvious.

Granted the lie-0-meter is way off because of the size of your tires...your mileage should easily be twice what you're getting.

You're losing fuel somewhere, its either burning or leaking, and if it were leaking there would be a pretty good size puddle of it somewhere. Also you'd be able to smell it, that much fuel, it should reek of it.

fuel filter assembly or a fuel line somewhere.

Do you notice puddles?

As much fuel as you're using there would be a large puddle somewhere. Like I said park it, or find a qualified mechanic to find your problems for you. You is throwing lots of money away right now.

Ok well first things first, figure out if it is indeed a fuel leak you're seeing drop the puddle.

Climb under there and try to trace the leak and figure out where its coming from. It might be leaking from elsewhere and gathering where you're seeing it fall, doesn't mean thats where its originating.

Also on all of these electrical codes you pulled..does the truck start/run okay? Very strange.
