Hey Kawasakiman
I bought a truck off of a friend that the stealer told him had a fried engine, turned out that all it was was a cam syncro. He was quick enough with shutting the engine down that after a put in a new cam syncro, the engine was saved and runs great. I put up a post on Ranger Power sports about the whole thing, and there was a very good write up about how to do the swap. VERY VERY easy to do, even for those of us that can't quite figure out what an engine is.
Anyway when the site is back up, they seem to be having problems lately I will post a link so you can check out what I did. Here is a picture of my cam syncro:

And from the research that I have done, yes the Dorman ones are crap, well worth the wait to find a motocraft or motocraft rebuild one. Any questions you got about the procedure, sent me a pm.
