I know you said you put a gas cap on and the light is still on but usually you have to start the truck X number of times before the light resets. Go by autozone and have them clear the code and see if it comes back.

I have an 07 Tahoe. Same code popped up two weeks ago. I was able to clean the filter that was caked with dirt/mud from the rains at the first of the month after driving 60 miles on rain soaked caliche. Cleared the code and 600 miles later still good. Your pick up is a little different evaporate system/location. I'd try cleaning the filter and resetting the code. Replacing that it would run about 150 for parts.

As others have said, evap isn't a huge issue... most of the time the problem with it is it's hard to nail down cause. One thing, if you clear code, run it about 20-50 miles before inspection, all the other tests should complete and should be able to pass emissions with one test reading NA.
Praying for you.

My ranch truck(06 Silverado) had the same issue... I watched the You Tube videos and cleaned the filter, washed out the Charcoal canister and put 'er all back together and she's been purrin' like a kitten since... MUCH easier to fill up with gas too! Other thing I found out was trying to "top off" you tank can mess this vacuum system up too as it can dump gas into that carbon filter canister and mess up the solenoid so I don't do that anymore. You hang in there! We don't need no GOF's to go flippin' out on us! We gotta stick togeher!

Solid advice, I did several solenoids on different fords before we realized we could be part of the problem by topping off.
My work car would make you lose your mind trying to fill up. It would only take a trickle of gas without shutting off pump.
