I believe I would pull the valve covers and check for blockage in the oil return passages. I used to work for Cadillac in mid-eighties, and those engines had tiny passages which would clog up and keep all the oil on top of the heads. They finally did a redesign to fix the problem.
The problem was common on low mileage cars, even though they had been well maintained. We finally figured out that the real issue was that the owners were mostly driving their cars for short distances, not fully warming up to burn the moisture and junk out of the oil. Since your truck has so few miles on it, I would guess that you may have the same problem. Get the sludge cleaned out of the heads and flush the crankcase out really good, then be sure to warm it up as often as you can, and drive her out the road pretty hard every so often to keep the juices flowing good. Hope this helps.
Good luck and God Bless,
Tommy
