Is your oil level going up? Possible head gasket, worn/stuck rings or leaking fuel into the base and thinning the oil?

hey thanks for the reply ,and no the oil level isnt going up ,coolant level is good the oil again is thick as molasses very black after only 30 miles could it be just remaning sludge from truck sitting for a yr if so any tips on cleaning out the engine thanks

Put a quart of ATF in the oil and let the engine idle for a while. The ATF will clean it out for sure, very good detergents in it.

Black oil is no bad news in an IDI. The oil at the air filter could very well be a stuck cdr (crankcase depressure regulator) that You can fix with a new cdr, not expensive. The blue smoke could be a stuck injector, time to use plenty of diesel additive (Lucas, Power service, Howe's, etc) to clean things and loosen them up a bit, do You have a new fuel filter on? The white smoke at start up sounds normal since the glow plugs could be not working and that is just a cold cylinder, but should go away a few minutes after started. Hope this helps fix the issue, I don't see anything very abnormal after so long with out running.
