I tought that the on-off trick was for the Dakotas only, good to know.
As for the gas cap it's on tight for sure, so unless it's craked ... I'll check it closely.
I had to buy a new cap when I got my truck. I kept getting evap codes with it also, even though it was new. I took a little vacuum grease and coated the gasket and the edge of the filler neck where the gasket meets. Since I've done that (about 1 year ago) I havent had it come back. You could also use petrolium jelly (vasiline). Just smear a thin coat, no gobs.

That is a real good advice right there, thanks man, I will give it a try right after the on/off trick.
