Dipstick is fine now
And just burns more oil Thani can afford to buy
So somewhere on my driver side is letting a ton of oil pass through into the chamber

Ok, so we're talking about the engine now. Shouldn't be hard to find out which one. Just pull the plugs and the nasty plug with be the cylinder with the issue. If it's burning it that bad, sounds like you probably broke a ring or two. Did this start all of a sudden? Or has the motor sat for some time as if a ring could be stuck? If so, some auto trans fluid in the motor oil, or some Marvels Mystery Oil in the crankcase might free up a ring and revive it. Of course if it's a broken ring, you know the bad news there.

Since I pulled tranny it had sat but i started it every couple days
It's always burnt a bit of oil
Especially interstate driving pegged at 3000rpm
But anyway it has to wait til this weekend
Let's hope it's stuck and not non-existent
I will report back this weekend with news
Good or bad to be decided yet
