on 2nd thought, were they grey or blue? I just realized I put a felpro on my #6 awhile back and it was grey, and its all jacked up now but the blue ones are holding up.

Grey ones from cummins are what I have , no leaks on either truck in three years now.

I tried to buy some at napa once... parts guy only had one in stock, but he swore up and down that all that engine required was one gasket, the computer told him so... I made him go get the gasket off the shelf , and follow me outside, I opened the hood , and told him to show me how one gasket was going to work for all six valve covers
