Mine hasn't done it again since the last time I posted about it, and I think your right about running rich, I don't know if its becasue I pay more attention to the muffler now, but the truck always has some sort of exhaust "smoke" for the first 1-2 minutes after startup, must be normal. As far as the plugs go, I think the iridiums that are already in our truck are prefered over platimums.

It ran this way for 1-2 minutes, then switched over to the usual transparent/white exhaust and the gasoline smell went away. My truck only has 14K miles, but maybe I need to change over to a platinum plug?
