100 % 0442. Could it be as simple as a bad gas cap ?

@05 Red let us know what you find

 

[VIPR PWR]

Famous Brand , Evap leak detection pump for the Dakota -- $100
Standard Brand , Evap leak detection pump for a 10 -- $160

There are others ... These are on Rock Auto .. Ill bet there is no difference in operation and work on any that uses one ..

This could be the culprit also ! Its the most expensive part of the evap system next to the charcoal canaster .

CAN YOU SEE ANY DIFFERENS ? Besides the nipple directions !

 

[Wifey]

You have to drop the gas tank and hope the hose is cracked or the problem ,,,. No dont have to do it either ,, so what if some fumes float out into the air .. been doing that forever ..

So who is going to do it for you hahaha

If you don't need to pass emissions i would leave it lol

To reset the codes just disconnect the battery for a few minutes .. then drve the truck for a it and see if it throws the code again ..if the code is the EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM start and inspect the hose for dry rot or cracked and replace as needed and reset diconnecting the battery again . Other than that a smoke machine put on the evap. System will show the leak .. A hell of a lot cheaper than a dealer or auto shop ..
my codes are gone , i replace a few small inches of vaccum hose . I know I have another cracked hose that connect to the throttle body it may a little ove a ft. Long .. and another at the charcoal canaster under the truck anbot 3 inches of vaccum hose will take car of that ..the code is gone so I believe not a leak ,, YET LOL .
I posted a few vids on making your own cheap but very capable of doing your own smoke check of the system ... personally ill say doing those visual checks and making your own smoke machine would even ne cheaper that buyin a code reader ...
