Alot of smoke
The truck smokes a lot on cold starts in the morning and after work. It is an 07 1500 classic 5.3. It's either blue or a combination of blue and white. I found a lot of metal glitter in my oil that had 3k miles on it so I changed the oil and valve stem seals. I added the Lucas heavy-duty oil stabilizer as well. It still smokes a lot and goes through coolant very slowly, but smokes a lot more when I top it off. when at about 5500+ rpm, it will blow a cloud of white smoke from the exhaust. Under the valve covers looked very clean with no sludge at all when I was in there. The truck also makes a slight ticking when idling but runs and drives absolutely fine. Thank you in advance for any info, tips, or answers.
