Chevrolet 6.6 burning oil
Been a diehard Chevrolet gas, engine truck person my entire life. Use them very hard in my landscaping business, and the 6.0 gasoline never missed a beat. unfortunately the 6.0 gasoline is nonexistent...

To mkirsch’s point. That new engine came out during the height of the Rona so as with all mfgs, less vehicles were produced and sold over the last 2-3 years.
Additionally, unless did hard GM and die hard gasser, the 6.6 was and still is the turd in the punch bowl. Anyone objectively looking for a HD gasser wood likely immediately dismiss the GM 6.6 for obvious reasons.
Lowest of the big 3’s other 3 HD gas options. The 6.4 Dodge, and 6.8/7.3 ford all make more power.
And to add insult to injury GM is still dropping the old 6 speed behind them when the other 2 mfgs have been offering 8 or 10 speed slushboxes for years now.
Not an excuse for an oil burning pig of a new truck though. Best of luck to the Op getting this resolved.
