I have an 06 crew cab. once i order the part how do I know where to run the hoses? everyone is talking about purchasing the extra hose but where the hell does it go? lol did i miss a post?

 

 

 

The old hose will need to be cut as close to the valve as possible. The hose in your question is not an extra hose, you will use it to connect the old hose to the new valve. You will only need 3 to four inches and two hose clamps.

Ian -   I have the '06 Chevy version of your truck (crew cab Z71) - but I can't seem to locate the canister. I've looked at the pics that have been posted here - crawled under the truck yesterday

Ok, its been a couple of weeks since i ordered the part and installed it. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to cut the old one off use some heater hose to bridge the old hose to the new valve and then clear the code. The code came back almost immediately but went back off the next day and has not returned. So I am calling my truck FIXED!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks guy's!

Very helpful article. Having very little luck locating the EVAP vent solenoid for a 2007 Tahoe, once I started looking for parts for a 2006 Tahoe, everything started to get a little easier. I purchased the purge vent as well (which is on the top-left side of the engine attached to a bracket along-side the intake manifold and behind the alternator), but that was not the problem. And, it wasn't the gas cap (which I replaced also). Turns out it was the vent solenoid. Checked it with an OHM meter and it was reading open. Found a vent solenoid for a 2006 Tahoe (ACDelco 214-2149) at local Chevy Dealer. There is a slight difference in the assemble from that of what was on my 2007. The solenoid part was the same, but the filter chamber was slightly different. The filter assembly on my 2007 Tahoe had a hose outlet connection with a vent hose that ran up into the fender behind the gas cap. The 2006 assemble did not have the hose connection. Long story short - the solenoid and the filter parts were interchangeable and I took the new solenoid and mated it with the old filter chamber and that was that. I could not get the hose off of the old solenoid that runs to the vapor canister. So, I cut the end of off and spliced things together with 5/8" heater hose and some clamps. I saved a lot of money doing this myself but it did take me a long time counting all the research and searching for the right parts. Hopefully there won't be a next time but if it is, it won't take near as long. After all said and done, we sometimes say, "after all that, I should've taken it to the dealer." As I get older, I hate working on vehicles more-and-more. I've always owned Chevy's....I don't know why, because it seems being worked on all the time seems normal. I never really realized how much I work on cars until my daughter purchased a Honda and all she does is drive it...Nothing ever goes wrong with that thing. Anyway, I digress.

 

I will add from my observations while lying on my back underneath the truck....I see no way that overfilling the gas can damage the vent solenoid as some folks have claimed. In order for that to happen, gas would have to go thru the canister to get to the solenoid valve. If that actually happened, I would think you'd have other problems.

 

Thanks everyone for all your help.

 

 

***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???? I say CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN SCAMMED INTO PAYING THE RIDICULOUS PRICE that GM is trying to suck out of us.....Please pass this on to the world, and every forum you can...Get the word out....Let the parts people at GM know we are on to their BS, and they can't take advantage of us like they have.....

 

Glad to see that someone may have already found a solution to this problem. I have a 2003 Silverado. I too am guilty of "topping-off". I'm getting both PO449 and PO455 codes. How do I ensure I'm getting the right part? I'd obviously like to get the $24 version since the dealer just told me it's $80 to scan it and then depending on the issue up to $500 to fix it. Please let me know if you need further information. The difference here is that you have a 2006 and I have a 2003. My GM part number is: 19152345. The AC Delco one you mention doesn't list this part number. I just need to figure out what the Suburban version of mine is. Thanks in advance, Brian

 

 

 

can sameone told me if this part for suburban 2006 is good for a silverado 2005?

my part number GM is 19207763 ( i can't find it when i search for suburban 2006)

Will this part fit on an 09 1500? My truck has 40k miles, and is out of warranty, so so if this part will work...I'll be a happy guy. Got the P0449 code yesterday, cleared it, and it came right back on the first start up.

Cleared the code with a code reader, and so far it has stayed off. You will just need to find the right curve for the hose. Any repair that I can do with a screwdriver and a knife is for me.

Thanks Macdanny....I had forgotten about this for the past week as I have been riding the motorcycle into work...took the truck today and was greeted with the MIL lamp. Hope to fix this soon.

I have the same issue on my '08 now. The part number calls for the entire kit, solenoid and vent and I only need the solenoid. My part has two hose connections, one from the canister and 1 to the vent. It looks like this part you mention only has one outlet is that correct? My part is $86 at Rock Auto, this other part is less than $20 and I'd like to go that route if possible.

Ok, I got my part at the dealer. For the NBS, mine is an '08, it is 214-2236 and cost me about $30. I got a couple feet of 5/8 heater hose and some clamps and you can see what I did below in the pics. The reason for doing this is that you have to cut the OE lines (plastic) to get the old part out.

My son's went out just before mine in his 03 GMC Sierra; $427 @ dealership. Because of his cost, I was expecting this to be a MAJOR deal, especially for someone laying on their back in the carport.

Not so.

What a rip off.

 

AC Delco #214-2149, 4' of 5/8" heater hose, and 2 hose clamps worked for my 2003 Silverado, and I ain't much of a mechanic at all.

Total cost: around $35.00.

Thanks for this thread.

I got the code on my truck, went to the dealer and got part number 25932571 to see if I could fix it. Replaced the part and erased the code. It has been out for two days now. Only time will tell, but I am pretty confident that it will stay out. (Tested by putting this part in, driving the truck and cycling starts. Then placed the old part back and did the same thing. Old part threw the code, new part did not.)

 

I was able to reuse the same hose. If your hose is not brittle, cut the plastic fitting where the solenoid is and then pull it out of the hose, used a bit of heat from a heat gun, make sure not the heat to much as you can melt the hose. Then place the hose on the new part and put a bit of silicone on it.

It is very easy. on my 07 silverado ext cab. it is under the driver side bed. right in front of the gas tank. the part i got was from NAPA the part # is (2-282567) its like 23.00$.. BUT the part from NAPA only has one port on it. all you have to do is take the solenoid. off the evap can and put it on the old canister. and what everyone is saying about the hose not coming off is TRUE its some tuff hose. just cut the old hose on the (S) side youll see what I mean.. cut right at the evap can port... (as close to the can as possible). so you can slip the 5/8 hose over the rest of the (S) tube. the other hose which looks like an accordian WILL come off.. (DONT CUT IT) The electrical plug just snaps back into the new sensor. also the new sensor has the same frame clip. to re-mount. I have pics just hae to shrink them to fit the web. the entire swap took 25min.

I cant see the image, On my truck the valve was infront of the tank right on the frame rail. There is a hose the goes from the solenoid to the canister, then to the tank. Not sure if it matters year to year, but I think the one that you are referring to is the tank pressure sensor that is ontop of the tank.

 

Also the code has not been set as of yet.

Can someone tell me the part i need for a 2007 Silverado, 4WD Crew Cab? I ordered what i thought was the correct part....AC Delco 214-2149 and it only had one port whereas the one i have on the truck now has two and is slightly smaller. I'm not very mechanically inclined but can change this out once i know i have the correct part to work with. thanks much. great site and info here.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
