Would Denso's void the warranty in any way, IT22's on a stock truck? I was wondering if i'd have any problems w/ that. I wouldnt see the problem in it, but just askin...Theyll be in, in anticipation for chip/pulley, any harm in it? Thanks

 

if anything broke, would the colder plugs be the culprit? Thanks

 

Colder plugs won't 'hurt' anything other than they may get carbon fouling because they aren't hot enough to burn it off but they won't cause anything to break.

why put it-22's in a stock truck?

put it-16's in, but really save your money and don't put any new plugs in, you don't need them

i'll be running it-22's with a 6lber soon

i used to run a 4lber with it-20's

 

I have a funny feeling that if you blew a plug and took it in w/ Denso plugs in there you would be in trouble. Thats just my guess though. You will never know for sure what they are going to do until you test em.

 

Thats not what im asking, Im simply asking if anything happend, blown plug, thrown rod, blown engine, can that be blamed on the colder it22's on a stock engine. would colder plugs cause detonating on a stock engine....let me know

 

I have over 40,000 miles on my 01 with 20,000 plus on a set of IT-22's and most of that without a chip or pulley. They run GREAT. They are not too cold in my opinion.

 

would the dealer find a way to have a problem with that though.

and do colder plugs cause any damage?

 

Derek94,

Legally, the dealer can't void your warranty over the plugs. Unless of course they cause the failure. Will they hurt the engine? They shouldn't.
Just be careful not to strip out the threads by tightening them to much. Hand tight...then 1/8 turn more...

Check out my sig if ya want to know what will void the warranty...LOL.

One more thing I will throw up. The term colder plugs is referring to the plugs ability to disapate heat. Hince they will be not as hot. This allows some crud to build up on the plug.

Running a colder plug has no benifit to a stock set up. When we add pulleys, we increase the heat the engine runs at and the plugs are exposed to more heat. We are then at risk of detonation, due to the heat of the plug being hot enough to ignite gasses before they are suppose to.

That is my "laymans" explanation. Anyone can chime in without my being offended.

could a cold plug cause a thrown rod

 

No Way. That takes some detonation and high RPM's/compression to accomplish.

If your plugs grow enough crud on them, you may get a miss fire though. Loss of power is the problem there.

I run the IT22's and I have 15lbs of boost compared to stock of 9.
You really should stick with the proper heat range for your set up though. I can't think of any reason to run "colder" plugs than needed.

how bout if the rods thrown and the plugs are in there....should that be a reson to take them out and replace w/ the stock heat range

 

I would put everything back to stock...just to keep from having to debate it with them.

I am beginning to think you may have a problem.

I don't mean to sound paranoid, but some posters here have some knowledge that the Ford folks browse some of these forums. I might be careful about letting on where you live or any hints on your truck color...LOL.

This isnt for me anyways...i dont even have a lightning...i have a 94 mustang gt. I was aware of the ford ppl readin this stuff so i didnt wanna bring anybody out or anything. i usually just browse the forum cuz i like the trucks.
