Finally tried a digital torque wrench on a Duramax head job...

After 15 years of trusting my clicker, the digital one showed I was under-torquing by about 15 foot-pounds on the final pass. Anyone else switch and have a similar 'oh crap' moment?

Always thought the clickers were foolproof. That's a scary difference to see.

Wait wait wait - so you're telling me the clickers have been wrong this whole time? I had no idea they could even be off like that. That's honestly terrifying since I use mine all the time.

Yeah @reeseandson, my clicker lied to me for years too, guess I was just politely asking the bolts to stay put.
