I havn't bought platinum plugs in a while, so I thought $7 each would be
appropriate.

Make that $272 for plugs.

Starter or CPU electrical problem? 2007 or 2008 GM trucks, Tahoes and
Suburbans had that same problem. I'd get calls to jump start them and a
dead battery wasn't the problem...they were usually towed to the dealer
for repair. Never did find out exactly what that was all about.
