P0449
My engine light came on and it's a P0449. I have about 47,000 miles on the truck. Is it worth changing the gas cap or should I just install a new solenoid? If I install a new solenoid, whrere is it located? Thanks

I have been reading up on your problem. Dont quite understand but they are Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid and a few people suggest taking it to the dealer or contacting them because it deals with emmision which is usually a longer warranty. I dunno though. Never had this problem. I did learn it is bad to fully top up my truck now so I need to stop doing that. Guess thats one of the reason this problem occurs. Ecspecially if you let it sit for awhile after. Hope this is some help.

My father-in-law had this problem with his truck one time 2 years ago. They told him he was tightening his gas cap too hard and to only do it to the first click he hears. He hasn't had a problem since. Don't know if that helps any of you?
