2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi Major oil consumption

I think it is on the shop owner, and you're going to have to lean on him and hard if you want it fixed. He could drag this out for a year and there goes your warranty. The emulsion under the oil cap could come from a bad PCV, or it could come from coolant getting into the oil. Neither should result in burning so much oil though. That sounds like excessive blow-by. Does this shop have a good reputation?

I would cut my losses and find a good mechanic.

sounds like it's time for a second opinion....gospel on the time issue to run out the warranty. you might have to take him to court to get your money back. If it's truly burning oil, it's goin' somewhere, especially that much. If it's not on the outside then it's either in the tailpipe or the radiator.

Just a thought...do a compression test, both dry and wet will tell you all you kneed to know if this is the case (will and could also detect a cracked head or blown head gasket)>>>when the engine is rebuilt, the compression rings are supposed to be set/ground to a proper gap when installed in the cylinder, AND the gaps clocked away from each other when installed on the piston. If the job was done in a hurry or incorrectly, the rings could've been destroyed almost instantly if they're too tight or too loose...this would explain oil consumption on an almost apocalyptic level like that.
