Happened a couple of times with my 97 dually. Bought tires at Sears. They must have stood on the impact. They were the only people that touched the tires since that was where I bought them. Would go back to have them rotated and they would snap at least 2 studs everytime. That was back in late 1990's before they new how to use a torque wrench. The thinking back then was use the biggest impact they could and tighten the hell out of them until they screamed.
