Serious question, I used to think a 3/8 drive was fine for everything on a 6.7 Powerstroke

Last week in the shop, I was fighting a seized caliper bolt on a 2019 F-250 and my 3/8 impact just clicked. My buddy tossed me his 1/2 inch Milwaukee and it zipped it right out. I guess I've been making things harder on myself for years. Anyone else have a stubborn bolt that finally made them switch up their go-to tool?

A 2019 truck and you were still on a 3/8? Man, I gave up on that for anything bigger than a lawnmower years ago. Those caliper bolts are a different animal.

Actually, 3/8 drive works fine if you've got a good breaker bar.
