Unmetered air in the exhaust before the O2 sensor will make the PCM think the engine is running lean therefore it dumps in fuel to try and compensate.

Agreed but wouldn't it need to be a large leak? I had one gasket missing from just the number 4 header tube at the heads and I never had an issue like this. The truck was SD at the time but had a blower. The leak was pretty bad. If these are the cast manifolds, maybe there's a long crack.

Speed Density (SD) trucks are a little less sensitive to this than the OBD-I MAF trucks. OBD-II....VERY sensitive to exhaust leaks.
That does not mean the OP's truck will ignore the extra oxygen content in the exhaust. Keep in mind an exhaust leak will release burned gases, but it will also pull IN fresh air.
