Hey all,
Just wanted to let you all know that I too entered the Bosch spark plug give a way and last week I received in the mail a complete set of Bosch iridium spark plugs for my C5.

I only have about 45K miles on my '99 but I figured since the plugs are 10+ years old they are ready for a change. I was a little worried about 10 year old plugs in aluminum heads but the old ones came right out. In went the new Bosch plugs along with a new set of wires, thanks GM parts house .
I had a noticable stumble at idle and that is gone. Runs like brand new. ( yes I know Bill, any new plug would be an improvement ). The best thing about these Bosch plugs is that they were free.

Way to go Bosch.

Did you put some anti-seize on the threads so they don't freeze in there over the next ten years?
