      Don't know if Allen is in the land of mandated passing of emissions, but if not, it's an idea.
      Yep. Emission county.

      Check gas cap first, there could also be a hose loose from the evap canister, my 09 ram did that and one of the hoses to the canister was loose. Put it back and code went away.
      Put a new cap on it yesterday. No change.

      Our stretch has been going on for 10yrs and doesn't seem to be slowing down.

      I also had a similar code due to the fuel filler breather tube becoming clogged. Have you had issues filling the gas tank? Caused by driving on too many dusty roads, also know as using a truck as a truck.
      I have noticed that I have to fill it slower.

Mother in law passed and two days before funeral I fall and shattered my wrist. Still have a plate and two pins that will be removed in a couple weeks but killed my bow shooting and hunting season this year. Son diagnosed with cancer and not operable at this time. Had his first round of chemo last Thursday. Keep your chin up the sun will rise tomorrow.
      My prayers are with you and your family.

              If a code was going to come on my truck I would rather it be evap than anything else.
              Maybe try resetting the code and seeing if it triggers again. Car should not be up for inspection anytime soon if you just bought it. I say reset it and see because two years ago, was towing a trailer and got an engine light that came up evap. reset the code and didn’t change anything (not even the gas cap) and to date the light hasn’t come back on.

                The piece on the left is what you are looking for above the transmission. Pry off the cover and clean the filter media. It is definitely worth 20 minutes attempting this.



                The next thing i would try would be cleaning the charcoal canister, and there are plenty of youtube videos on how to perform this.

                  Take to a repair shop that has a real diagnostic computer. They can pinpoint exactly what the issue is. Best $75 you'll spend.

                  It'll all work out.....You got a year before you need an inspection!

                  We told you not to by a GM

                    Dang man, hate that its going so rough! Good news is, like others have said, that code is generally minor. Seems like the solenoid for my wifes tahoe was like $15

                            Sorry to read that Goldeneagle. It can always get worse, but I know what it feels like for things to pile on. And vehicle issues, to me, can be the very frustrating. Especially in your case where you bough newer truck to avoid this. With my 2001 Silverado it was because I wasn't clicking the cap enough when closing it. Sounds ridiculous but my CIL would come in if it only clicked it once vs 3 when closing it. I think that was the number, that was 3 years ago now and all the medical issues I have been dealing with have messed with my concentration. Stress does that so I definitely commiserate with you.

                              Thanks for the offer, but you take care of yourself. Your a good man and we don't want to lose you. This stupid weather doesn't help. It's already got me in a blah mood to begin with.
