Million-mile Silverado keeps on truckin'

After 300 oil changes, four radiators, three gas tanks, six water pumps and nearly one million miles of service, Frank Oresnik is readying to retire his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado.

Oresnick, of Medford, Wis., drove his truck on Thursday to a service station for what he anticipates will be its final oil change and tune-up.

"I feel almost like the long-time NFL player as he goes into his last training camp knowing this is the end," he said.

Oresnik attributes the truck's longevity to his following a proper maintenance schedule combined with good luck.
