I have noticed over the last couple thousand miles, with the engine now fairly broken in, and with ECO hubs and stock gears I'm not getting any blowby and not losing ANY engine oil. Checked it on a level surface a couple times recently at about 2500 to 3000 miles (on the oil) and it is DEAD NUTS on the full. Has not moved a millimeter.

I think this is primarily a break-in and high RPM effect. Being farther along in break-in or reducing RPM both help it seems in my experience. Eventually leading to elimination of the issue.

Yet another example of an issue that isn't if you actually use the machine - like tire flat spots, dead batteries, and all the other trappings of trucks perpetually covered in dust and spider webs.
