The plugs cause no anomalies that I ever heard of.
I would still recommend platinum over cooper for normal stock motors.

Subject: DML: Re: Spark Plugs
Ok... now this is new to me. ( I was off the list for almost
2 years fom early 2001 to a couple months ago)
I have a 2000 4.7 4x4 and I switched to 5224 platinums at
about 9k miles. They have been fine so far. The factory
plugs were platinum and the owners manual recommends
platinum. So what is this I now hear that they can cause
problems? I must have missed a thread. My truck now has 40K
on it and it still runs great. And I live in Phoenix... so
there's no shortage of heat out here... Someone enlighten
me please!!!
