well if it aint in the coolant and it isnt going out the tail pipe then it has to be going into the fuel tank? no ily residue in the tail pipe? how about at the exhaust backpressure valve tab where the actuator rod meets the valve itslef. if you are using/losing that much oil in a short time then it should have residue or even a drip coming from the tab

in theory if you are blowing a gallon of oil out the tailpipe in 70 miles then there should be oil in the tailpipe or leaking from the connection at the turbo. i would run a compression test to make sure you have good solid numbers, i dont suspect a problem there but you never know. if the compression test come up clean then it might be worth your while to drop a fuel tank and reach inside and see if there is any oil building up. that much oil in that little time has to be goin somewhere and should be easy to spot.
is the truck runing ok? any loss of power?
here's a dumb question but is the air filter clean? if its dirty or plugged up then the motor will suck oil from the drivers valve cover. thats another thing to look at, is the inlet of the turbo full of oil?

what im going to do i will run the truck with out the air filter to see if there is a difference on oil consumption unless you think is unsafe to use the truck without air filter what do you know about the k&n filters? some people don't really like them they say they don't hold dirt very good, Its that true?

definatly dont run without the filter, you will find the general consensus around here is k and n is bad, they let too much dirt by and dust the motor. how large of a filter is it? does it provide enough air? are your turbo fins in good shape?

The intake would have to be like Tj's walmart bag mod
to pull that amount of oil out.

it may be too small but the new issue i just found out about is the fact that you said the turck came with no air filter on it when you purchased it..... what condition are the turbo fins in? and i thikn a compression test may be the first thing on the list now.
