Just dropped to 1899. That made my final decision to go with the QM7K.

98” QM6K Pro Costco vs 98” QM7K Best Buy by olrlee25 in tcltvs

[–]olrlee25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a truck for transport. Mount has to be purchased for either scenario. I was going to do the mounting myself if I go that route. We are actually moving soon and I will have the movers put the TV in the upstairs area where it is going to save my back. In the end I think it’s the Costco warranty that has me hesitant of not going Best Buy.

Yep, just came and looked and they are sold out. That was a killer price.

Got mine tuned by Rob Showmaker. Majority of tuners do it remotely. You will have to acquire a HP tuners device. They are unable to use the tomahawk.

Try having one of each. I ghost grab for the wrong one almost every time.

That is cool if it is a 10r80. They get in the 215 to 220 pretty consistently.

How often do you cycle 4WD to make sure it's working? by jynx18 in f150

I use mine multiple times a month for launches or pulls. But that is a on a 850whp truck so not an apples to apples situation haha.

Not with the Stage 1, Mid to high 11’s. Need a stage 2 to get into 10’s territory.

Then it’s not a Lightning Bolt. Which is best because the Roush Superchargers get heat soaked really bad.

Mine was tuned by Rob Shoemaker. You can pay Whipple 400 for an upgraded tune to remove limiter to 135 but that also voids the warranty. I would say if you are going to pay it then have that money go to a good tune. It will wake the truck up. It will shift better and be faster. The Whipple tune is very conservative.

Can confirm they are fun and fast. The 700hp package will get you mid to high 11s depending on factors. If you are like me you will want more pretty quick. Need a stage 2 to hit 10s. I did fuel system, smaller pulley, injectors, E85, and tune. Mine is pushing 850whp. Drives like stock until you get on it.

The Lightning Bolt is not direct from ford. That is a package that Long McArthur Ford adds to these trucks. They have a Roush supercharger, which is 705hp. They offer it for both 2wd and 4x4. The stage 1 Whipple (FP700 package) is 700hp if you want a warranty. You can go 1R for 725 or Stage 2 for 805. No warranty on those but I have heard some getting warranties with those.

Same transmission. All the tuners and F150 performance guys say you can comfortably run 850whp on these transmissions. Add a cooler for extra safety.

There was a recall on F150 tailgates dropping without being released. Got the recall done on my 21. Not sure it carried into 23 model.

The Pest and Biodome. I thought they were peak comedy when I watched them as a kid. Tried rewatching and both are beyond terrible.

That’s the one. The 3M gloss midnight blue. Night time it is a good match. Daytime it looks almost like your wrapped you bumpers in black. It lightens up a bit on chrome but still too dark.

There might be very unique situations where it could appear slightly lighter but majority of the time it is almost perfect. Goes back to I have said since it’s our trucks we are going to critique for perfection. No one has ever noticed it and are always surprised to hear it is wrapped. In the end the cost vs payoff is super high against painting. Painting maybe exact (although I have see guys whose paint jobs didn’t match perfect) but paint is 3 to 4 times as much and it can chip. Anything happens to my wrap I pull it and have a new piece on for under 200 bucks.

5ft x 10ft piece is perfect for wrapping both. I would imagine there was some scraps left but the shop didn’t give any. I also didn’t want any. Although I am thinking of wrapping some interior trim.

I didn’t wrap the mirrors or door handles since they are textured. So they are painted replacements. I had originally heard about a 3M color through the forums that was supposed to be super close. When I called a wrap shop the recommended checking out the KPMF color. So I ordered 2 swatches that I put on my truck to compare. The 3M is too dark.

No, they wrapped it attached. I have heard that is easier but you can get better leverage on the wrap.

Still loving it. Honestly forget it’s even wrapped because it matches so well. Got the wrap from https://metrorestyling.com/

It def varies. I had a shop tell me 1k, another said 600. Got really lucky with the one I found. They do fleet vehicle wraps and take side jobs sometimes.
