Truck Eating Water....
#16
I hate to say it....because i am a glass half empty guy. But I feel there is a good chance you are a candidate for another blown gasket. You could be good at idle and when the boost starts to build you are feeding the cylinder with a mist of water. It wont smoke like the truely blown head gasket...white smoke generator type....but that is just my 2 cents.

Take that Mr. John P.!!(AKA Mr. Water Injection) J/K...
It is frustrating though to have put on 3 gaskets and not solved problems... you know how much work goes into changing one of those things on my truck??

If it was me with this problem, I would be pulling the T-state out, and refilling the system from the upper radiator hose, then driving it a day to see what happens then, just make sure your cooling the radiator down before your pulling the cap everytime, if its building pressure in the radiator after you cool it down, then chances are it could be a headgasket.

Just to update this, turns out the rear freeze plug in the block was leaking, but would only do it about 200 rpms and up. Thats why there were no visible leaks idling but it was eating water like mad. He had a Haisley freeze plug kit installed and so far all is well.
