## Description

Ford Genuine 8L3Z-6M280-B Solenoid

Review: Good price, works well. - Product arrived on time and has worked reliably. Price was good. Using in engine compartment of my Toyota PU. Easy installation.
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.

## 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?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine Ford - Everything labeled in Ford packaging
*by E***Y on November 25, 2024*

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 Amazon, from “OEM Select Parts” and the parts were shipped from Beshore and Koller Ford, a dealer out of Manchester PA.
