Truck is making oil again!!!!!

Well if I could sell it it would not be a bad thing. Last year replaced injectors when it was filling up with oil. April 17 took it in oil on the rise they checked everything no leaks. They drained down oil to the right level now it is in the #`s on the stick again. It doese not fill up quickly like a bad injector would, but it is just a steady little increase. Any body have any suggestions truck will be going in tomorrow.
Thx Big T

A motor can't "make" oil. I'll bet you still have a leaky injector. I'm not too familar with the CR injectors, but an injector o-ring could be letting just a minute amount of fuel to pass into the head, which would cause a "raise" in oil level.

OR, I hate saying this, how does your anti-freeze level look? Is it low?

Leaking anti-freeze generally results in a milky-white oil.

Diesel mixed in with the oil looks like thinned out oil.

Do you operate your truck around town on many short trips? Do you idle excessively? Incomplete (ie, cold) combustion leaves unburned fuel that finds its way to the crankcase.

Lots of extra oil can be a sign of a leaky injector.

I do spend more time on short tripps, but I know alot of people do. How can they make an engine that will wash the cylenders out? the last time I took it in the service rep told me to run it harder, I heave been. But I know others out there have been running easiere do to fuel cost: i was told by my service rep ( goood friend) that he has never seen a truck run so eazy. Bot at a $4.50 a gallon I am not florring this beast. Could a ring or somthing else be wrong, or can an injector just leak a little instead of filling the crank when an injector blew lik ethe first time?
