Well I put on a new gas cap and cleared my codes out and my check engine went off. I think im still going to change the Evap vent can and the 2 knock sensors because I do wash my engine so It may help for things down the road. I think imma put a layer of silicon completly over the cap so wate wont sit on top. I have to drive down a 1/2 mile dirt and gravel road to get to the plant I work at so I will be washing my engine once a month. hope this helps. Im going to take pictures of the process of both.

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU MUST READ*****
Ok everyone, listen up....If you have a 04 and newer silverado, with a failed evap vent solenoid, you have to read this info. Do not pay $100+ for this part(actually $150.00 at the dealer). The following part numbers associated with this part have been gm#19207763,19152349, and AC DELCO #'s 214-2082 costing over $100.00 for the modified part. This is for the modified part, with the relocation of the filterbox, and the added hose that seperates the two. No one at Gm will tell you this, but this same part, that was origionally on your silverado, is also used in the 2006 Suburban. It will be an identical replacement for what is ON YOUR TRUCK, and the cost is $24.04 AT THE DEALER. I know this because I own a 2006 silverado, and a 2006 suburban. Looked at the suburban when the part went bad on the silverado(from overfilling the tank)and bingo, same part. Ask a parts person at GM, and they will tell you otherwise, but they are lying to you. Bought the suburban part today part # 25932571 (GM #) and everything is identical, right down to the numbers stamped on the part itself. Took the part off my silverado, put the replacement on (which gm told me is not the right part), cleared the codes, and bingo no more light after 3 consecutive starts...... Why, is it that GM feels we need to pay the price for something they did wrong???? And moreso, lie to us, telling us the $150.00 part is our only choice to fix the problem. My truck went 40K miles with the origional part, and probably only went bad because of my own stupidity in overfilling the tank, whay would I not just want to spend $24.00 to put on the same part, that will probably go the rest of the life of the truck with no tank overfills????

ME----->I called gmpartsonline.net and i ordered part # 25932571 (GM #) it listed for 26$ but because I ordered the previous part the one for the silveraldo on the internet they gave me the internet discound which was 17$ and he is overnighting it to me for free. I am going to install it this weekend. I will let you guys know how it works out.
Why do you install the vent can in a different location?
