Arrived in a simple plastic sleeve without bubble wrap, so it got a little banged up. It works fine though.

Based on a lot of reviews, I made sure to order the OEM part for the 2000 Ranger 3.0. The chirping sounds from the back of the engine are gone! Install, well that all depends on your level of knowledge. I was able to install it and where it is located is not fun. But it is working well and functions like it is supposed to.

Went with the motorcraft for easy installation and peace of mind! Have used aftermarket off brand parts in the past, but when it comes to precision and electrical the price is worth it!

Ford dealership wanted 400. Showed up in a genuine motorcraft bag. The dorman parts seem to fail. Doesn't have the sensor or the bolts. Still chirped for a couple days until it got oiled up/broken in. Also doesn't come with the tool but if you mark everything, can eyeball it.

Amazon quickly shipped it directly to my college son in Pacific NW. We also locally sourced and sent him the correct cam synchronizer tool ($15 at A-Zone vs $48 on Amzn at the time). He partnered with an awesome local mechanic and they installed it together in less than 30 minutes. He said it works great, has good oil pressure and the occasional “bird chirp” sound went away!

More expensive than other aftermarket choices. I had it installed by a certified mechanic to avoid any disappointments. My Ranger is running great. EDIT: So, a few months later I get a P0340 code.

I made the mistake of buying a Dorman (Chinese) camshaft syncronizer for my 2003 Mazda B3000 and learned the hard way why you shouldn’t do that.I was driving down the road in regular 30 mph traffic and suddenly my truck completely died, I lose power steering, electrical components AND my brakes in and intersection. if I hadn’t immediately pulled over and took the key out of the ignition, my mechanic said I would’ve lost my entire truck right then and there. It turns out that the bushings inside that particular piece broke WAAAAY prematurely and basically snapped inside the engine, skipping teeth and literally scalding the engine to forcefully stop on a dime without warning. When this happens, you will more than likely damage or grenade the vehicle’s engine.These camshaft syncronizers are absolutely positively integral to the functions and timing of your Ford Vulcan 3.0 engine. You must buy ONLY the Ford manufactured one. It’s better to just spend the money on this one than buy a $30 one and regret it.Needless to say, I’ve been using this part for around 25,000 miles now and so far so good. The Chinese part only lasted 5,000 miles before it snapped.

I found a dealer willing to install this with a spectra cap and it cured the chirping and oil pressure needle movement at idle and the stuttering going up hill under a load in cruise control. This is a vital part for smooth engine function. One of my other symptoms was a sporadic chirp. Sometimes it would be constant and then it would disappear and then there would be an occasional chirp and some roughness at idle. If you have a chirp it may not be the alternator, idler or tensioner. It may all be coming from this part at the back passenger side of the engine on 3 liter rangers. When the shaft develops a wobble, the flag starts hitting the plastic sensor and in most extreme cases results in a sheared pin that will stop your oil pump and destroy your engine. I had 113000 but others recommend this be changed at 80000 as preventative maintenance. I couldn't have gone much further without a catastrophic failure or roadside break down. Don't ignore the problem as it only gets worse.

I thought I was having an issue with the installed part on my 2001 Ford Ranger while on a 2500 mile road trip. Of course the issue surfaced in the middle of the Arizona desert. So while on the road sweating, I ordered this and had it sent forward to a rest stop in Las Vegas.When I limped into Las Vegas, the part was waiting. It fit perfectly like an OEM part should.FYI - these are not like your good old distributor that manage spark. Instead this manages fuel injector timing AND oil pump function.I'd replace this at around 100,000 miles JUST BECAUSE!Just because if it fails, your motor is most likely going to get trashed!Save your motor, replace this at around 100,000K!(If severe duty, consider changing it sooner.)
