I just noticed today that 2 of the 3 bolts that hold the hood to the left hinge are missing. So there has been one bolt holding the left part of the hood on this whole time. I know its no big deal.......but whats that tell me about the rest of the truck? I also had to tighten a few large bolts that held the bumper to a bracket down there that were threaded in about 4 out of 15 or so threads.

I guess someone in Fort Wayne Indiana felt that my truck only needed some of the bolts. How about the rod bolts? Think those are tightened to spec?

when I put a 3" body lift on my '02 Z71, we took the front clip off and it was missing many bots/screws...... I was like WTF?

It is not uncommon for a new vehicle to be missing small parts, or have a few screws or bolts missing. That is why the average car is now $23000.00 and the guys on the assembly lines make $35.00, so they can still not give a ****, complain that they don't get enough money, and half *** put your car together.

I read about Saleen says that a lot of the mustangs they get are missing parts, like the underhood airdamn, or sometimes a radiator support!

What you gonna do?

How about keep your car/truck and not buy new ones?
But that's impossible for us to do, this society is all about "buy buy buy, spend spend spend" and theses companies keep coming out with ****.

Well, engine builders, and the engines require so much more accuracy in its build, it is usually not the motor that will be the problem. But what do you mean your not going to jail for me!?!?!?!?!?
