Default gascap

That's what is says on my odometer display. It came on about 180 miles after I had filled up already. I checked that cap and it is on tight, I filled up last night and it still says gascap on my display. Any ideas? 07 1500 4.7 4x4.

Might need a new one...if it doesn't seal correctly it'll throw the code you're getting.

Also, did you make sure that it clicked? On my last vehicle I would have the same problem if i didnt rotate the gas cap until it "clicked" 3 times. Just my 0.02

Issue Description:
Issue 1: Do NOT order a Gas Cap if the ONLY customer complaint is a Loose Gas Cap message/indicator. The Gas Cap is/was most likely loose after the last re-fueling event. Simply tighten the Gas Cap and the system will re-run the EVAP test and clear the message; or, tighten the Gas Cap and then use the DRB III to perform the “Clear PCM Batt Disconnect" function or the StarSCAN to perform the "Reset ECU" function. Refer to Service Bulletin 14-001-06 for more information. >>>>>>> http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2006/14-001-06.htm
New part # 5278632AG Cost about $12.00

Hope this helps....

Sweet, the gas cap is tight, so I will disconnect the battery to clear the code and see what happens.

i had the same problem with mine and it was in the dealership for a week because they couldn't figure out the problem and why the gascap light wasn't going off. finally, they just had to replace the whole gas line and tank. they "smoked it out?" and found a small leak that was the cause. was a pain, but problem was fixed and covered under warranty.
