Big Ford Dealer ,2K 350's,Turbo Bolts Missing!

When I was searching for a F-350 PSD my 1st stop was the dealer that sold me my 99 F-250 PSD.The day my son and I stopped to see what they had in stock we spotted 4 2K F-350's, all DRW,which is what I wanted.They were in the used truck section at this dealership,all parked in front on the main road for all to see! As my son and I started to check them over a sales rep approached and I requested the rep that sold me my 99.While we waited I thought it would be ideal to see if the 2000 models were carrying on the famous turbo bolt nightmare.Guess what! Two of the four had the same thing that a lot of us have been through! 1 missing and 1 backed out on the top! Four trucks side by side and two of them had turbo bolt problems! Anyway the rep shows up after about 10 mins. and I spring the surprise of what I had found. Response-" Holy ----! Are you serious!?" Out comes the portable phone! 10 mins. later there are four F-350's, hoods up,in front,on this main road! Mechanic and tools going from truck to truck,mumbling to himself. I thought it might be a good time to drop the question-"Don't you guys put all these vehicles through a thorough inspection?" Response from the rep and the mechanic-"We do." These four trucks were almost new! Highest mileage out of the four was 26K. Leaves something to be said about these "thorough dealer inspections".

Hmmmmm. Off topic here. Good topic for the '99-up General Questions forum, so I'll move it to there.
