Well, went out this morning, found out the new OPS I got... I don't have a socket to fit it, so, reinstalled the old one. It works, but, isn't exactly accurate. (reads between 40 and 80 pounds at idle, varies with engine speed.... but, the mechanical gauge was at 80 at idle...... not sure which is more accurate. )

Check the PCV hose, wow, big surprise, oil in it.... not much, but, more than I think should be in there. Disabled PCV system. (unplugged hose from valve, and plugged hose) Took the truck for a ride. Smoked pretty good for about a mile and a half, and then slowly tapered off to nothing...... Did my running around, and while I was out, stopped at the chrysler dealer and scored a Mopar PCV valve, hooked it all up, and off I went. No smoke so far. See what happens after the truck sits for a while.

Thanks for all the input folks.
