## Description

Ford Genuine 8L3Z-6M280-B Solenoid

Review: Perfect fit and function - This part is the part you need!! The Dorman part I previously ordered failed after only 2 weeks. Installed this Ford specific solenoid and it fixed all of my trucks timing related issues and so far has lasted a month under everyday highway driving conditions. Ford redesigned these solenoid at some point apparently. The internal diameters are smaller on the Ford solenoid than on the other Dorman solenoid which leads to improved oil pressure which is a good thing for your valves and lifters, etc!! So, in summary, spend the extra money and buy this product. You'll thank me later.
Review: Genuine Ford - Everything labeled in Ford packaging - If you are going to rebuild your 5.4 L 3V triton engine, then you already know that it is a time-consuming Job, and you do not want to do it twice. I got this kit and I rebuilt my 5.4 3V, and now my engine is as quiet as can be, running perfectly, and throwing no error codes. I also did the rockers, the hydraulic lash adjusters, the VVT solenoids, a high volume Melling oil pump, and a number of other “while you are in there” jobs. I strongly recommend using genuine Ford for the engine internals (with exception to the Melling high-volume oil pump). The build quality, the fit, the finish, and the modifications implemented by genuine Ford are essential for this job. You do not want to mess around with counterfeit or aftermarket on this and you do not want to save a buck because all you’re going to do is have to redo the job or, worse yet, ruin your engine. I purchased these directly from desertcart, from “OEM Select Parts” and the parts were shipped from Beshore and Koller Ford, a dealer out of Manchester PA.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the solenoid come with the required seal?**
A: I'm not sure why others stated they did not receive theirs but my product did indeed come with the new solenoid seals for the valve cover! I believe this is how they're supposed to be sold from the factory. Could be wrong.

**Q: Are these side specific?**
A: They are not side specific

**Q: Will this fit the 2006 explorer 4.6l 3v engine?  some research i have done suggests i need the 8l3z6m280a.  confused.**
A: The 8l3z 6m280 a is just an old part number but it is the same

**Q: It fit ford explorer 2008 v8 4.6 ? Just one piece?**
A: I used it on a 2008 5.4 liter.  I do not know if it will fit on a 4.6.  What does the Amazon say about the fit?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solved my engine knocking @ idle problems.
*by E***E on June 27, 2015*

Worked fantastic in my 2008 Ford Expedition EL with 5.4L 3V Engine. Near the 100,000 mile mark I noticed an intermittent check engine light appear on longer trips. Of course, I did nothing. it went away. lol. Around 103,000 miles after the engine warms up it started knocking and sounding like a diesel truck near idle. It shook violently. Check engine light remained permanently on. Drove to AutoZone to get my codes read. They told me it read 'Cam Position Snesor' over and over again. I purchased a couple of cam position sensors. I'm keeping the truck, I don't mind replacing some cheap parts at $15/per sensor and I figure they might go bad eventually anyway. So I replaced both cam sensors and of course it wasn't the problem. After more google searches I find out about VCT solenoid problems in these 5.4L engines. Makes them sound like a semi and shake when slowing down from around 1200 RPMs. Stop signs, fast food drive thru and slow driving through parking lots make it act up badly. I had HOPE that I could just pop open the seal stick a 27T torx bit screwdriver down in there and replace both in about 30 minutes. Of course not! 2007-2013 Expeditions are made so the valve cover needs to come off to get at these. So be aware, If the seal around this solenoid doesn't have a tab for a screwdriver to 'pop it off' then you're going to have to remove the valve covers to get these out. It won't even fit up through the hole, I wasted 1/2 a day on this! Hopefully you won't. Long story short, once both valve covers were removed the solenoids were replaced. They were both gunked up pretty badly. Got everything all back together properly and I reconnected the battery followed the PCM re-learn prodedure in my owners manual (basically let the truck idle in drive with A/C on full and your foot on the brake for a full minute) and the truck sounds wonderful, gets better gas milage and sounds like new! I figure I saved myself about $1000, after all is said and done. If you're one of the lucky people who get to remove valve covers like me, at least you can check a bunch of other parts that might be going bad in there. Hit youtube and Ford forums. I hope this helps someone out there!
