2002 Ranger Edge. 3.0 Vulcan, 140k miles
I'm currently doing some tune up and preventive maintenance work to my truck including replacing filters, plugs, and plug wires. I also just installed new control arms with ball joints, front and rear shocks, inner and outer tie rods, sway bar links, and a new exhaust system. The road salt in the midwest has not been nice to my exhaust and suspension/steer components!
This brings me to the notorious camshaft sync. The one on my truck is original. I popped the sensor off and didn't feel any play in the shaft, nor am I getting any trouble codes. How long do these usually last before you start seeing failure?
I am wondering if I should go ahead and replace this for peace of mind. I would probably stick an OEM replacement on from Rock Auto.
