wheel studs

Anyone have any issues with the little 12 mm wheel studs introduced in 97 on the 150.
That is the smallest stud ever used on an American pickup.
Do the 9.75 rear ends also have the 12 mm?

No known issues, They did upgrade to 14mm in 99 I think.
The studs are not stressed like they were on older vehicles because the truck uses hub eccentric wheels where most of the load is on the hub, not the studs.
