5500 Km update and impressions!

[DieselSmack]

Had my bronco over a month and I am
Enjoying every minute, well built, nice to drive compared to a jeep, lots of power from the v6, plenty of room, electronics work well only thing I had happen was the 12” screen stopped working I gad to disconnect the negative battery terminal, it never happened since, I reported it to the dealer, another thing is spots forming on my hood and fenders that looks like rust, I just got back from the dealer they took pictures to be sent off for a decision. It’s ridiculous why is a vehicle rusting already? I thought these broncos we’re made from aluminum. I attached some pictures. Other then that it’s been a blast!

Beautiful build, hopefully they fix those issues for you!

Yep those spots are almost guaranteed to be rail dust from being on the train. On a black vehicle it looks like that and on a white it looks like orange spots that are very noticeable. I suggest getting an iron remover from Canadian tire and clay bar should remove most if not all. It is a very common thing on rail shipped vehicles.

Your Bronco has me rethinking my color choices and how badly do I need to live in the country on a gravel road....

Your rig looks badass.

Also, Vipers are my favorite - grandfather owned a Dodge dealership and had 2 which he collected.

Aluminum can oxidize just as bad as rust my 07 mustang gt had it under the hood cause the aluminum hoods were cross contaminated with another metal which causes oxidation. Your aluminum hood might have been in contact with a different metal at the plant causing the oxidation rust.

Damn all these issues was looking at GMC Sierra at4 and they are having lifter issues with model years 19 to 21 with 5.3 a d 6.2 liter engines. Does anyone make a decent vehicle anymore that’s made well. So far I’m sticking with my bronco but with every issue that pops up I’m starting to get cold feet

Beautiful rig, loving the black. Making me think hard about upgrading my base order to badlands. Wheel and tire combo looks great too. Good stuff.

This is what it seems it could be.

Oxidized aluminum usually gets like a greenish look to it like the Statue of Liberty

The rust spots are iron particles imbedded in the paint from the rail cars. Use an iron remover and they will clean up. Do the entire rig. https://adamspolishes.com/collections/the-best-car-washing-products/products/adam-s-iron-remover

Next time your screen locks up just pull the sync fuse, that will force the reboot same as pulling the battery, but you won’t reset your pcm and force all the learning stuff to restart.

beautiful rig, Bronco is ok too.

Copper.

Copper.

Technically not pure copper. Bronze is a copper alloy. lol
