Update: this issue is what caused the coolant leak and stranded Bronco at this thread:
Just got the Bronco delivered today. After reading stories about coolant leaks, I decided to take a look and see if there were any issues. I found that a nut on a pulley was contacting the coolant hose. It had chewed through the nylon weave protecting the hose and started to work into the rubber hose. This was only after 32 miles! I gave it the quick zip tie fix as mentioned in other posts. Seems ok now and will follow up as part of the first service.
Posting this for other 2.7L owners. Pls do a quick check. A $0.25 cent zip tie may save u! Here is a pic (after the zip tie fix), u can see the mesh on the hose is frayed, the nut closest was the culprit.
