Exhaust manifold bolts question

I've been reading about broken bolts, and my buddy just had them done on his 00 Excursion.
My questions are as follows.

Were certain engines more prone to this?
How many miles are on the engines when this happens?
What are the years to stay away from?

THANKS for your help.

PS The truck I just looked at has 116,000KMs on it and is VERY quite.

5.4's are prone to this 1997 to 2003. Passenger side nearest the firewall. I've seen the studs break and the flange lift off 1/8"!!
