Default drivers side motor mount nuts?

does anyone have the driverside nuts missing on motor mount attaching to the frame with just the bolts and no nuts to tighten it down ? the other day i was under my truck and notice this and almost wondered if they came this way lol because i have the original motor with only 46,000 miles on truck.i put nuts on the bolts and truck seemed less responsive would this cause that to happen ? i heard people taking sway bars off for more of a launch from a stop but not motor mount nuts?

On your vin you will notice the ninth character is a 5 this indicates your engine was installed on the 5th day of the week which is Friday...........I believe this is normal for all vin's displaying this engine install day. Anyone?...................

LOL, I can't tell if you're serious or not, but either way that is hilarious.

If you have two five's together (9th & 10th digits), then it was put in at 5:00 on Friday............
