[QUOTE]While many argue that foreign cars are far more reliable than domestic automobiles, here's at least one case for the Big 3. Frank Oresnik of Medford, Wisconsin is on the verge of crossing the million-mile mark in his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.

Mr. Oresnik bought his truck used in 1996 with 41,000 miles on the clock, but has since racked up an average of 85,000 miles a year delivering seafood in three states and is just 1,2000 miles short of the milestone.

The though the truck has seen four radiators, three gas tanks, five transmissions and six water pumps, Mr. Oresnik has never had to recondition the engine itself

Yap, tranny's not been that Silverado model's strong side.

Well considering he would have had to replace the tranny every 200k miles isn't bad in my opinion.
