More than I would want from a respectable truck. Smokes more when cold. Smokes less when warm, but still continues to smoke. No big black smoke, but I don't I will ever have a problem with misquotoes either. Suggestions I have received is maybe a valve job. Is that very expensive? Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, WoodChips

My bet is you are describing worn rings not valves. I think your engine needs a rebuild. A valve job would not cure the problem, it could make it worse. Have you taken compression readings yet?
