Could do a compression test, dry, then wet, see what that tells ya.

 

Two quarts a week, that oil was going somewhere. And the somewhere would be your exhaust.

 

They will most likely come back. Mine disappeared for 3 weeks at one point before returning.

To me it really sounds like you need to a compression test and see where this motor is at before you spend more money on it. If you're burnin that much oil, it went to your cat and good chance the heads cracked.

 

That sounds about right, that would be my luck for sure. Lol I don't currently have the tool but I will see if I can get my hands on one.

 

At that rate of oil consumption your cat was killed by the end of the first week. They'll burn off small amounts of oil just fine in normal operation, but if you've got serious oil control problems the cat's substrate gets oil soaked and can't generate heat enough to get the job done. When the expensivum metals that create the chemical reaction that makes cats work (get hot) never actually see the exhaust through that coating of oil the reaction doesn't get cranked up as it should. That leaves you with a cat that first fails to do its job of cleaning up the exhaust, then becomes carbon fouled to dam up the exhaust stream. In these and many other engines, cracked heads soon follow because the cylinders overheat due to that exhaust restriction.

 

That all makes sense, guess my next move will be replacing the cat, switching to a denso o2, and possibly replacing the heads.

Thank you to everyone for the helpful responses!
I will make sure to follow up afterwards

 

This man is spot on!

 

I would have to agree that was a pretty awesome response! I really have to say THANK YOU to the guys here on dodgeforum! Over the years I have saved thousands by keeping my truck out of the shop with the information the members have provided!

 

Thanks! The flowers are greatly appreciated.
