Oil consumption-PCV Kit
I know this is probably the one millionth post on this but there are no clear answers out there. I am still burning oil. I still get the smoke on start up occasionaly. I have installed the oil seperator and the swanson PCV kit. The oil in my throttle body seems to be less but I am still having the problems stated above. For those of you who have cured these problems, do I need to adress the drivers side that goes to the throttle body or is there something that I am missing.

You're still going to consume oil with the seperator. It's only keeping oil out of your upper intake plenum. The PCV valce on the passenger side valve cover connects to a tube that "T"'s off before your seperator, and goes to the back of the lower intake galley. Oil pools in there.
I generally check my truck every 1k miles to make sure I haven't burned too much. It's normal for an L to burn a qt between oil changes. ...it's BS, but it's true.
