jsanders347 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 the check engine light came on so I had it scanned and it came up as a bad vapor can vent valve. My questions..... where the hell is it? What does it do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's connected to your gas tank, there's an $15 AC Delco part number floating around somewhere that you can replace it with. 30 min to change it, Google the cel code.

jsanders347 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Damn. I already spent $82 on the part. I'll check it out man thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I can't post pictures from my phone for some reason but the part I pulled off and the part I bought are different. Is there a hose that needs to be added or do I have the wrong part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 The hose connected to the stock canister is a hard plastic tube. I connected a soft rubber hose to the new canister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsanders347 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well it looks like they gave me the wrong part. What I got had 2 places to connects hoses and what I took off only had one. Of course they don't have what I need but they'll have it Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsanders347 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I had to drop the tank to get it out. Good thing I didn't fill up like I was gonna. Seems like the tank is always full when it has to be dropped lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I didn't have to drop the tank, maybe we're talking about different parts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Was the part on top of the front of the tank? And the bracket for it was bolted to the frame? It's possible and probable I took the hard way to doing this job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 right behind the gas tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Interesting. Mine was located on the top front of the tank. What year is your truck? I don't think I could have yanked it out any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
