30k here with zero problems. Check torque at 85 ft lbs every 3k.

This is the truth..

If you set your torque for install to the high end of the range (Say 90 ft/lbs for argument's sake) and then when you check them set to the low end of the range AND DON'T OVER TIGHTEN (say 80 ft/lbs here) , you shouldn't break the thread locking compound loose.

Another route is to get marking paint and put a stripe across the lug nut and over the stud. That way you will be able to tell if it is moving at a glance.

All you have to do is set your torque wrench 5 ft lbs less than your previous torque so you don't break the locktight seal.

Heck no... when installing I torqued to 90 and then when checking I set the wrench to 85 and am careful to not over torque. Haven't had a single one break free yet.
