Its burning oil, like you Im no mecanic, so I would think it needs some type of engine work and thought maybe it would be cheaper to get it overhauled or buy another engine, so I could get another 5 years or so out of it. Gonna use it for hunting/hauling crap and such and hate to spend 25k to 40k on something I'm gonna trash, eventually. Probably close to my last truck purchase.

A tune-up is way cheaper, and while they're in there they can check the compression. I'd do that before you mention to any shop that you're wanting to tear the whole thing down to the tune of a few grand. Might be as simple as a leaking head gasket.

I have a '02 2500hd crew with 260,000 miles on it and it runs like a dream. I hardly drive it any more, it hasn't been a daily driver since 2008, but still enjoy driving it when I can. i took it to the camp and use it on the farm now Air cold, 4x4 still works etc. It's got a small oil leak that drips down on I guess the manifold and gives a burning oil smell but that's about it. I told someone the other day that when the engine goes I will have it rebuilt etc. The truck is a tank, it's been stuck to the doors a numberof times pulled big tractors etc and still rolling
