evap leaks are usually cracked vac lines or loose gas cap.

Don't tell the dealer to fix anything. Tell them what the problem is, and then THEY will tell YOU what needs to be fixed.

I just got this code myself, and I just bought this truck and still have yet to have the E Test done. Instantly first thought was "Damn it O2 sensor right off the Bat FML !!" lol

After i got the code it occurred to me i had just gotten gas not 20 minutes before the Check engine light came on. I really hope it was just the loose cap , I detest tracing vac lines.

Had this issue a while ago and it just came back. Last time replaced the evap solenoid and the evap canister. The canister had deteriorated and was spilling charcoal into the lines. The solenoid was stuck open and likely had a chunk of charcoal stuck in there somewhere. Tried to clean solenoid with compressed air, but that didn't help. Blew out all the lines before installing new components. That fixed lasted 3 years.

Recently I had to install new rear leaf springs and had to move the fuel tank to rear the front driver leaf bolt. I'm wondering whether shifting the tank slightly caused some fuel system line to be loose resulting in the P0441 code. I cleared the code and was good for a few weeks and came back today. Now I'll dig into the search for the source. Any ideas besides checking the solenoid and lines?

Check the vent line on top of the tank. Might have stressed it too much.
