So we did it again (2 miles later)......... the pass. rear wheel went flying by us (sucky)... i hurt the car but not bad.... but my question is all of the lug nuts where stripped and the threads where on the studs.... I had just got done torquing the lug nuts to 99lbs.. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES (COSTING ME OVER 4,000.00 THANKS FORD..)!!!! Has this happend to anyone? what is the fix...DONT SAY SOLID AXLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude your crazy. Frickin wheel looser.
Are you using the correct Lugs for your wheels.
Are the studs correctly matched to the lugs?
Sounds like something is screwed up.
I just impact mine a little then hand tighten them a little more.
Never lost a wheel yet.
