I have a 2006 Sierra 1500 ext Cab 4x4 with the 5'8" box. I also have this code happening, but I can't find this part under my truck. Where would it be? The only part of the fuel system by the tank is the big rectangular box that I assume is both a fuel filter on the pressure line and something else for the return line. There are no wires or anything like that nearby for this.

 

Where would I find this evap solenoid on this specific truck????. I have the replacement part ready to install....

***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

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

I just put the 214-2149 on my 07 Sierra (new body). It also has 40k on it. $31 all in. I bought 3' of 5/8 heater hose and had 18" left over. Cleared the code with a code reader, and so far it has

Found it above the tank over the frame rail, almost inaccessible. The engineer that chose that location needs a serious kick in the nads.....inexcusable..

There ought to be a law......

Yep, easy to just pull the bed to replace.

No thanks. Plus, it's actually under the cab & wouldn't easily be accessible by lifting the bed.

 

Got it out and moved it to a new location above the main charcoal? canister. See pics.

 

Also, was able to use the bracket by putting a bend in it and using the existing bolt on the crossmember for the main filter/canister bracket. Used the same wiring connector by pulling it out of the main loom for about a foot or so.

This new location is where the thing should have been mounted in the first place. It's inexcusable that the bed, or cab should need to be lifted, or tank dropped, to do any type of maintenance, incl. the fuel pump.......That's :bs:

Good to see you were able to get at it. Mine is under the bed. I pulled the bed to change out my fuel pump. Yes is sucks and shouldn't be designed that way. But it is one way to bring $$$ into the dealership. I'm now getting a P0442 code and think it is where I had to fix a broken line I did when I changed out the pump. So off the bed will come again for that fix and I ordered a new line. Here is my fix that is now two years old.

I have a 2004 Sierra with 5.3 engine.

 

Every interchange that I see for the recommended part #214-2149 says it is for 07' up new body styles only. Can anyone confirm this will work on the older body style 2004's?

 

Mine does not have a clip at the canister like some do. The hose is heat on from factory. Instead of putting heater hose from the canister to the old hose, I would think it would be better to use heater hose from the new canister all the way to the filter box. In my mind it would have less chances of any evap leaks this way. - thoughts on doing it this way?

I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 5.3L Ext Cab Short Bed. I can't find my evap solenoid either. Its not at the back of the fuel tank and its not visible sighting down the space between the cab and bed. My charcoal cannister is in front of the tank lying flat with the three ports facing towards the passenger  side of the truck. All three hoses disappear going up and towards the drivers side.  If you don't know where the vent solenoid is, which of the three ports is attached to the vent solenoid?

 

Thanks,

 

George

I have the same set up, how did you get this thing out of there? Any help is appreciated. Nads definitely need to be involved. Thanks,

Is this okay the TSB says to relocate remote filter to top of transmission? I relocated to above fuel pump on top of gas tank will that be okay I don't think any water should be getting up there right? It was a tight spot but doable and it helps to cut the old hose off then just slide out old solenoid between outside of cab and bed and hose from under the truck for those wondering how to get this thing out. So think I'm good with this spot for my filter everyone or should I run it to the top of my transmission? Ty

It's dust that caused the filter location to be shifted above the trans. housing.

So that's not a good spot for it then? It is alittle dusty there I guess. I'll have to get more hose.

Not the best of spots when you see all the debris that collects on top of some tank. It'll probably do fine up there. I'm still running the OE valve on the back of the tank, but then I'm not driving on dusty roads all the time either.

 

Some people have run it up by the gas tank fill hose and I guess it's worked for them

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
