Just wanted to post and say "Thanks" to odayflor and everyone who contributed info on the repair for code po449, at least it did work for my truck!!
I went to my local Advance Auto Parts and bought the AC Delco part # 214-2149 which is the same exact part that was originally on my '06 1500 crewcab!
Cost for the solenoid was $23, plus the piece of heater hose & 2 clamps.
Guess I'm curious as to why GM wants to "update" with remote filter, what is the advantage of it?
Funny thing too, after completing the swap of the solenoid, started up the truck, rolled it down the ramps , let it run for a few minutes to move the ramps out of the way and got back into the truck to park it, the engine light was off and has been ever since!!
Again, thanks for the help!!
