Dorman is pretty good for unobtanium parts, but sometimes their parts are not the best in quality. Door hinge pins, tailgate cables, various clips and fasteners that are not longer available from the OEM or never were sold separately, sure.

Cough up the $50 bucks for a new canister vent valve, or locate a wreck and buy used and be done with it. On Emissions related devices, stick with OEM when you can.

Don't go cheap ebay no-name brand parts and don't go Mevotech is really the only advice that I ever give out in terms of using caution when buying parts.
