The dealer could warranty it if they wanted to, but I agree with their decision to say it is not covered. I work on these trucks all day every day, and I don't see the wheel studs (not rods) snap. Only if people put on aftermarket wheels with the wrong lugnuts do I ever see that. If they broke while removing the stock rims, either A:they are a bunch of idiots, or B: for some unknow reason, the selling dealer decided to tighten the **** out of them. Most likely, it will be A. Wheel studs are not expensive, they are already half way there if they have the wheel off. They should do it as a courtesy to you if nothing else since you're buying rims off of them. Only problem is this. If you can't trust them to take the wheels off, can you trust them to install new wheel studs, mount tires, and install new rims.
Scary.
