My last truck was a Chev 1 ton dually with a torque value of 140 ftlbs so this didn't seem unreasonable at the time. As I finished the last lug, it snapped ! SH*T ! I checked the manual again and realized it should have been the 83 ftlb value. I backed off the remaining 5 and retorqued to the 83 ftlb.

I can't imagine that your torquing of a stud to 140 ft/lbs alone broke it. Something else must have contributed to its failure before you touched it. Maybe it was defective.
The point I'm trying to make is that it may not be necessary to replace the other five studs simply because they were torqued to 140 ft/lbs. Since it is not known why this stud failed, and if it makes you feel more comfortable to replace the others, then go for it.
Good luck.
