I would guess its carboned rings. If so, buy the GM top end cleaner, pour some in each cylinder and let sit overnight. spin the engine over the next day with the spark plugs out to clear the fluid. Install the spark plugs and go drive the truck to clear out the residue.

Thanks, I will give that a try.
