It sounds like oil coats and burns out plugs. Plugs 2 and 3 seem to be the main victims. Just got the truck back and they ordered the cam cover. No eta on when it will be available. I will update once the work is complete. All of this would covered under the powertrain warranty if i was beyond...

It's at the dealer now. They are aware of the oil consumption and I have info indicating high oil consumption will burnout the glow plugs. Seems like my exact problem and hopefully gets fixed. We'll see what they say.

Thanks for this info. I was able to push the foam top back a bit with my thumb to reveal the sticker. I had burned through 5 quarts of oil while on a 5000 mile trip pulling a 7300# camper. My cam cover is not one of the ones within the date ranges of the "suspect" cam covers. Keeping a closer...
