    Ok, I pulled some of my plugs today to check and see what shape they were in to make sure i dont have any problems. I posted yesterday about a noise i was hearing and i just wanted to make sure it wasnt internal, I know my valve cover gaskets are leaking, but those are getting replaced sunday. The second picture shows the reddish color better but the edges are solid black. Anyways, here are the pics......

    The red is a fuel additive. Nothing to worry about.

    Awesome, they were all the same. I am starting to believe that my problem is an exhaust leak, but i have searched everywhere and have nothing!

    Get your truck safely in the air, or crawl under it and have your truck running. Sometimes exhaust leaks aren't audible, but you can feel them with your hand.
    You could always blow some smoke in the tailpipe and see where is comes out if you want. Not sure if those are crazy ideas, but if you're looking for a leak and can't find it, maybe that will help.

    Worst come to worst you can take the valve covers off and then back all the lifters off so that the valves are all shut. After that you can pressurize the exhuast system and check for leaks.
