What is your definition of (a) “lot (of) oil”?  
One quart per 500 miles?  
And the usual:  
Engine?  
Miles on odometer?

You say it’s using oil, but “no leaks, no burning”. If it’s not leaking oil, it’s burning it. Burning oil was a pretty common problem for the GM trucks equipped with “active fuel management” of that era (5.3 liter).
