Doesn't appear to have any blowby or excessive crankcase pressure. I am running a PCV valve, it has vacuum at idle so that would indicate that it's not clogged correct?

Just took it for another drive. Fine for the first 5 to 10 minutes then it started smoking at idle. Doesn't smoke while driving, just at idle and getting back to speed. Parked it back at the house after around 15 minutes of driving and just sitting there idling it was putting out enough smoke that it was hard to see all around the truck. It appears this started out of nowhere a month or two ago so I discontinued driving it. Out of nowhere it began to smoke like that during a drive in town. Didn't overheat, puke coolant, nothing. I haven't driven it since then really so I can't tell if the gas mileage has suffered at all.
