you probably have a broken piston ring that is supposed to keep the oil out of the cylinder bore, the oil goes through and is burned with the gas.

What Shady Mechani pointed out could cause it and the tell tale sign would be a blueish tint to your exhaust fumes. Another reason could be a dirty oil filter, a PCV valve that needs to be replaced, and last but not least slug build up in the engine. The last will require an engine flush. A good one would be Auto-Rx.

How much does a ford truck cost?

All I can do is give you starting prices. It really just depends on how you configure the truck. The F-150 starts at $21,850. The F-250 starts at $28,500. The F-350 starts at $28,983. The F-450 starts at $46,500. The F-450 has such a high starting cost because it comes standard with the crew cab, long bed, 4WD, and the diesel engine.

What do you use to start a fire engine?

A fire engine starts in much the same manner as any other motor vehicle. Probably more like a truck, but hey, it's a truck chassis with the pump, tank and whatever else built onto it. Why wouldn't it start like a truck? On the inside, at least, a fire engine is just a truck with the "fire stuff" added on.
