Jim...the Suburban came stock with NGK's? Heh, I was in the parts store the other day and some guy was buying plugs for his Chebby...the employee went down the list to NGK's and the guy says "hell no, I'm not putting that ***** crap in my truck", heh.

I felt like "enlightening" him by letting him know that GM will be producing the new Equinox engines in CHINA because it's somehow cheaper to assemble them in China and ship here than send the parts from Detriot to Canada and back to the US.

When I worked in the parts store and you would look up (as my memory serves) a 97-99 Blazer the computer would ask you if it was manufactured in Saudi Arabia or Egypt (in addition to the USA being a choice). Heck, just the fact that we sold more parts for Blazers than any other vehicle would keep me from buying one!!!

One reason I always laugh when Chevy runs that "This is ouurrr counntryyyy" over and over again. If only the public was so informed, heh.
