oil consumption is now over a quart in just over a week. no oil spots after I park and no oil smell while driving, strangely there are some droplets splashed on the fan cover and bottom half of the intake, I touched the spots and they looked like and felt like they could have been very fresh oil

What does your exhaust pipe look like ?
How is the bottom of the truck look ?

Another thing to note If the valve stem seals are orig and have never been replaced it 100% burns oil the 2 main failueres on 4.7 engines timing chains/guides And valve stem seals they harden up every single one will need it done at some point.

I've been tracking this as best I can, given logistics but I miscalculated in my initial post, it's more like 1.5 quarts every 2,000 mi or thereabouts. everything seems dry including under the hood
