Perform a thorough visual inspection of the wiring to the engine and make sure that an animal didnt take your engine harness and make a nest out of it. Also, try and run the engine on fresh gas.

    I'm having to put 2/3 quarts of oil in my truck every 15-20days. When I start it up I notice white smoke but it quickly goes away. I'm currently putting synthetic 20/50.
