OE Ford Ignition Parts

What Ruins the Ignition in Your F-150 Whether Gas or Diesel

Whether your Ford F-150 runs on gas or diesel, its ignition system—starter, spark plugs (or glow plugs for diesel trucks), ignition coil, and solenoid—plays a crucial role in dependable starts and smooth performance. The wrong habits can wear these parts out prematurely.

Is It More Expensive to Maintain a Diesel Truck's Ignition?

Diesel ignition systems tend to last longer but are often more costly to repair when issues arise, making preventative maintenance especially important.

Bad Habits That Wear Out Your Ignition System

1. Ignoring Worn Spark Plugs

Driving with bad plugs strains your ignition and reduces fuel efficiency.

2. Over-Cranking the Starter

Repeated long cranks can overheat and damage the starter motor.

3. Using the Wrong Battery Type

An underpowered battery forces the ignition to work harder.

4. Skipping Regular Inspections

Minor ignition issues can escalate into costly repairs if ignored.

5. Installing Non-OEM Parts.

Aftermarket parts may not match OEM standards, leading to poor performance and shorter lifespan.

Why Use Genuine Ford Ignition Parts?

OEM ignition parts are built to your truck’s exact electrical specifications, ensuring optimal firing timing and reliability. Pair them with OEM alternators for a fully dependable system.
