I simply lay a rag along the bottom seal when it rains.
It gets soaked and stays put. It drips, but stops the water from blowing on me.
If you scroll down the page, you can read more threads on this(that should have come up with a search)
Both the air compressor and the IP get oil from the front cam bearing source.
When the truck is shutdown, the oil (contaminated) could drain back and "wash" or contaminate that bearing.
Just a possibility.
It shares a connection with the IP.
Perhaps a fuel diluted oil supply(from the HH or orings) could cause wear on that bearing, allowing accelerated wear.
Maybe the original cams had a failure issue, and that is all it is.
I doubt we will ever know for sure.
Also notable is the fact that the parts listing says that there is a replacement camshaft and gear that replaces an earlier part number.

And, it's made by Hercules. http://www.parttarget.com/2815-00-808-6978_2815008086978_10951216.html
And interestingly, the camshaft bearings are not all the same.
Each has it's own part number.
