Evap leak. Need help.

My truck keeps throwing a p0442 and once a p0455 code. Both are EVAP leak codes. I've done cleared the codes 3 times. It seems to come on only one start up and moving really slowly. My gas cap is original and i've checked it several times and its not loose. I dont smell fuel. What do I need to check to fix this? Thanks.

Check the FAQ section. Sounds like a bad hose on the evap canister over the gas tank.

I've got an evap system map in the FAQ section, trace it out. Odds are you have a cracked hose or a failed clamp. Cheesiest clamps I've ever seen are the ones Chrysler uses...

I looked through the FAQ and didnt see it. Do you have a link?
