🛠 8/9 build week thread

[SLFordVT]

Congrats! That was a long one. Update if you ever figure out what the hangup was.

I don't know where you are at, emotionally. I was so banged up when I finally got mine, it was hard to be over the top excited. But I can say that every drive over the past month, I have grown to love it more and more.

At least in Florida, you can still pull that top right off and enjoy. Best wishes with it.

It's nice to finally be here. The vehicle drives unbelievably well for its capability. Unfortunately the wife seems to have decided she should have it. I may have to wait for the raptor bronco. I will say, they had 4 at the dealership, two of which had the Sasquatch package and, aesthetically, it looked like an after thought. The badlands with 33s looks way better than 35s stuffed in there. It seems like it needs another 2"-3" lift to look good with 35s. All around, they're pretty cool vehicles!

Are the defects you referred to know repairs occuring with Broncos at MAP or are you just listing general defects that customers have noticed once they take delivery? I will be really upset if I have been waiting this long for simple issues like some of these.

I can't remember where i saw it - but the majority of these (together with others i did nto include) are listed as open TSBs - i will see if i can find it and post. But the window catching on the weather stripping appears to be the door being misaligned -that's an open tsb - the whistling are open tsbs, etc. I will take a look and post if i find.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea there were that many TSBs. I guess this should be expected with any new vehicle.

Mine made it to Granger a week ago today, and made it into my garage last night at midnight. The delivery truck got stuck in Cheyenne for the day, so he asked if he if I cared if he could deliver it at midnight so he could keep going on to California. No issues with me.

Hi, what exactly is a TSB? My Bronco is whistling and I am on the forums searching to figure out what the heck is going on. I am wondering if I take it to my dealer - will they even be able to determine the cause? Wondering if I need to submit some kind of complaint to help others get theirs fixed too.

Just mentioning it here because we are all same build week. My bronco has that airbag recall. I'm starting to think the Snow's going to drop before my bronco does.

A tsb (or technical service bulletin) sometimes listed as a 'communication' is an acknowledgement of an issue with a plan of action to address. The whistling you hear is either from your grill - Ford is developing (or may already have developed) a new gasket that will replace the original that will eliminate the whistling. The fix is supposed to be available October '21 though it is uncertain whether that means beginning, middle, end - or actually October '22. The other possibility is the mirror housing lacking a proper seal on one of the side view mirrors. (or both).
Good luck.

Most likely the mirrors or the grill

You are so helpful thank you so much!!! Its only happening on the right side of the car, so I'll check the mirror issue first. Its driving me insane lol

Technical Service Bulletin

Edit: Already answered

Where is the whistling coming from? Most likely the roof or windows. If it's a soft top and you've taken it back/off already, make sure the seal is good. Sometimes the weather seal needs to be moved by hand so it doesn't get stuck on the wire that actuate the second back position for the roof.

Who else is still waiting on dm bronco? This shit is getting old!
