Hi guys, looking at the VCT solenoids from RockAuto. Has anyone tried any of them and can anyone recommend which ones I should purchase?

DORMAN 917200 {#3L3Z6M280EA, 8L3Z6M280A, 8L3Z6M280B} $59.77

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS L53001 TechSmart $67.89

AIRTEX / WELLS 2T1010 {Click Info Link for Alternate/OEM Part Numbers} $75.61

 

I would go with Motorcraft. I got mine for $65 at two different dealerships. I've also seen them on ebay for $120 a pair including seals. I have heard of aftermarket ones failing early. Ford revised them a few times, so they are more reliable now than when the truck rolled off production.

 

For an important part like that, I'd also recommend motorcraft. I've had too many issues with Forman stuff failing (their fpdm's are also junk) and I've tried various other aftermarket parts thag have all had their issues as well.

 

Okay, will go Motorcraft then! Thanks for the help!
